Study finds every plant-based meat alternative tested contained multiple mycotoxins
Every plant-based meat alternative tested in a UK study contained at least one mycotoxin, with most containing several fungal toxins simultaneously.
Emerging Fusarium toxins appeared in over 93% of products, with beauvericin detected in 98.9% of samples.
Researchers linked widespread contamination to products combining multiple crops prone to fungal colonization.
Mycotoxins can damage the liver, kidneys, and immune system even at low exposure levels.
Choosing whole foods over highly processed plant-based substitutes reduces mycotoxin exposure risks.
