Zearalenone (also known as ZON, ZEN, or ZEA) is a powerful fungal toxin that impacts crops grown or stored in cool and moist conditions. Zearalenone can cause estrogenic effects such as early development in swine. The toxin is produced by the Fusarium species and primarily affects corn, wheat, sorghum, barley, and rye. Some Fusarium species also produce other toxins like deoxynivalenol. To safeguard consumers from the harmful effects of zearalenone intake, several countries have established regulations. The European Union has set maximum levels for food and provided recommendations for feed. Other countries that have established regulations include Korea, Japan, and China. Romer Labs is a leader in the field, with over 40 years of experience, offering an extensive portfolio of comprehensive zearalenone testing solutions.
