Mycotoxicology

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations is interested in fungi from both a human health and welfare perspective as well as an economic one. FAO has a couple of publication of interest to anyone interested in food safety and mycotoxins.

First there is a PDF manual entitled Handbook of Mycological Methods, provided by the FAO project on mycotoxins in coffee.

There is also a web-based edition of publication (ISSN 0254-4725) FAO FOOD AND NUTRITION PAPER 73—Manual on the application of the HACCP System in Mycotoxin prevention and control. This publication discusses Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) with respect to mycotoxins in food supply systems.
