Mycotoxins

Laboratorium Ecca has made mycotoxins one of the priority analyses within its offer. Meanwhile, we have many years of experience with the following mycotoxins included in the legislation: Aflatoxin B1-B2-G1-G2, DON, ZEA, T2, HT2, Ochratoxin A, FUM B1 and FUM B2.


Mycotoxins are a group of toxic substances formed by certain yeasts on various crops. They are directly responsible for making a large proportion of agricultural products unfit for human or animal consumption. The legislative framework in this area is also becoming increasingly sophisticated.

In order to respond to specific questions and anticipate future legislative extensions, ECCA is already offering the possibility of analysing an extension package:

– 3-acetyl-DON and 15-acetyl-DON: metabolites of DON

– Nivalenol: mycotoxin of trichothecene group (DON , ZEA , T2 and HT2)

– α-zearalenol and β-zearalenol: metabolites of ZEA

Important for Eurofins Ecca Food Testing customers

Relocation of the microbiological food testing laboratory to Nazareth
At the end of February, the microbiological laboratory of our food division in Merelbeke will move to our Eurofins site in Nazareth.
This allows us to centralize our activities in one location and further strengthen our services.

What will change?

  • No analyses will be started on 26 and 27 February. Only strictly urgent samples will be handled via an emergency procedure, which can be requested here until 23/02.

  • No registrations in Qlab on 26 and 27 February. After that, Qlab can be used again as usual.

  • Delivery of all food samples from 2 March onwards at the following address: Venecoweg 5, 9810 Nazareth.

  • Temporary impact on accreditation and reporting: some methods will temporarily not be performed under accreditation. Where necessary, we will automatically provide an accredited alternative, which may cause a slight delay.

  • New email address for collections and sampling: logistics-food-be@ftbnl.eurofins.com

Thank you for your trust and cooperation during this relocation.
