Tridge summary

In 2024, laboratories in the Republic of Tatarstan tested 5.4 thousand samples of wheat, barley, rye, and triticale grain, a six-fold increase from the previous year, as part of quality and safety checks for the absence of Fusarium grains. These checks, which included 4.2 thousand samples of wheat, are required by various technical regulations and standards to ensure the quality and safety of food and grain. Fusarium grains can spread through conidia and ascospores, causing harm to the grain and producing mycotoxins that can pose health risks. The checks aim to prevent the use of contaminated grain for food purposes and to ensure safe fodder and technical use of grain with Fusarium contamination exceeding 1%.
