In Paraguay, there is currently no legislation regarding the maximum permissible DON limits in cereals and derivatives, nor any institution to monitor the presence of this mycotoxin in foods. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the presence of DON in wheat products destined for human consumption in Gran Asunción, Paraguay.
