Understanding Mycotoxins and Testing Requirements
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds that can be formed from mold and must be tested for in every production batch. There are two main thresholds that must be met, both at 20 parts per billion. The first threshold involves the sum of aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin G1, and aflatoxin G2 analytes, which must add up to less than 20 parts per billion. The second threshold requires that the ochratoxin A analytes also be less than 20 parts per billion.
Why Mycotoxin Testing is Essential
Testing for mycotoxins is crucial in ensuring the safety and quality of cannabis products. Mold and mycotoxins can have harmful effects on consumers, including respiratory issues and other health problems. By conducting thorough testing, producers can identify and eliminate any contaminated batches, protecting both their customers and their business.
