Mycotoxin contamination
Like other maize products, corn gluten meal can be contaminated with mycotoxins. In 2009-2010, a worldwide survey found that corn gluten meal samples were frequently contaminated with mycotoxins, notably fumonisin and zearalenone (Rodrigues et al., 2012). Similar findings have been reported in China in 2006-2007 (Ao et al., 2008).
