n: number of samples; LOQ: limit of quantification; n.r., not reported; DON: deoxynivalenol; Ac: acetyl.

For calculating the arithmetic means of mycotoxin concentrations, 1⁄2 of LOQ value (g/kg) was used.

a

Samples oven dried prior to analysis.

b

Calculated by the CONTAM Panel using the maximum concentrations.
