Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update their 2006 opinion on ochratoxin
A (OTA) in food. OTA is produced by fungi of the genus Aspergillus and Penicillium and …

In order to manage risk of ochratoxin A (OTA) in foods, we re-evaluated the tolerable daily
intake (TDI), derived the negligible cancer risk intake (NCRI), and conducted a probabilistic …

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin (fungal toxin) found in multiple foodstuffs. Because OTA
has been shown to cause kidney disease in multiple animal models, several governmental …

Ochratoxin A (OA) is a naturally occurring mycotoxin known to contaminate a variety of foods
and beverages. The cancer risk posed by OA was reviewed as relevant to human exposure …

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a ubiquitous mycotoxin produced by fungi of improperly stored food
products. OTA is nephrotoxic and is suspected of being the main etiological agent …

The chlorinated isocoumarin compound, ochratoxin A (OTA), together with some related
derivatives (ochratoxins B, C, a, l) are produced by Penicillium verrucosum and by several …

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is an important mycotoxin with potential to reach the human food chain
through carry-over of contaminated, mostly cereal-based, feed into animal-derived products …

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin occurring naturally in a wide range of food commodities.
In animals, it has been shown to cause a variety of adverse effects, nephrocarcinogenicity …

The multi-faceted and potent toxicity of ochratoxin A to experimental animals, its accepted
role as disease determinant in mycotoxic porcine nephropathy, its putative role in the …

Since ochratoxin A (OTA) was discovered, it has been ubiquitous as a natural contaminant
of moldy food and feed. The multiple toxic effects of OTA are a real threat for human beings …
