One of the chemical hazards that WHO has reported more frequently is cereals contamination with mycotoxins, mainly aflatoxins and fumonisins. NOM-188-SSA1-2002 establishes that aflatoxin concentration in grain should not exceed 20 mg kg-1 ; however, there are reported concentrations > 200 mg kg-1 in maize. Although it has been documented that nixtamalizacion removes more than 90% of fumonisins and between 80 and 95% of aflatoxins, the residual amount could be important, finding reports concentrations higher than 100 mg kg-1 of aflatoxin in tortilla, representing a risk due to the high consumption of tortillas in Mexico (325 g d-1). The JECFA (2001) establishes a maximum intake of 2 mg kg-1 pc d-1 for fumonisin and aflatoxin recommends reduc...
