Results of a pilot survey to determine Alternaria toxins in food samples purchased in Austria: tomato sauces (n = 12), sunflower seed oils (n = 7), wheat flours (n = 9). Eight of the 17 analytes included in the method were not detected in any sample and are thus not reported in the table. Abbreviations: n.d. not detected
