Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by several filamentous fungal species, thus occurring ubiquitously in the environment and food. While the heterogeneous group shows differences in their bioavailability and toxicity, the low-molecular-weight xenobiotics are capable of impacting human and animal health acutely and chronically. Therefore, maximum levels for the major mycotoxins in food and feed are regulated in the current European legislation. Besides free mycotoxins, naturally occurring modified mycotoxins are gaining more attention in recent years. Modified mycotoxins constitute toxins altered by plants, microorganisms, and living organisms in different metabolic pathways or food processing steps. The toxicological relevant compounds often co-occur with their free forms in infested food and feed. Thus, the toxins may contribute to the overall toxicity of mycotoxins, wherefore their presence and toxicity should be considered in risk assessment. [...]
