EFSA Warns of Phomopsins in Feed
EU - Lupins are the main host for the fungus, Phompsin, with infected stubble being the major source of exposure for animals. Lupin seed is used in food and feed production, but the extent is poorly documented and data on the occurrence of phomopsins in lupin-based foods and feeds are limited. Although information on toxicity of phomopsin is lacking, the severity of toxicities in numerous animal species suggests that human and livestock exposures should be kept as low as possible.
