dc.description	This report examines the interaction between nutrients and mould-derived toxins in food and feed, with particular attention to their role in food contamination and disease. It outlines the historical recognition of illnesses linked to contaminated grains and foods, including outbreaks associated with mould toxins affecting humans and animals. The document reviews the development of scientific understanding following twentieth-century investigations that identified toxins such as those produced by moulds as significant threats to public health and animal production. It discusses global evidence showing that staple foods may be contaminated where mould growth occurs and notes research exploring how diet, nutritional status and environmental conditions influence biological responses to these toxins and related disease processes.	en
