An occurrence of the toxigenic fungi producing aflatoxins and ochratoxin A in food was investigated in the study ("MYCOMON") in years 1999-2001. Twenty five commodities were purchased from retail in twelve collection places in the Czech Republic (300 food samples together). The presence of potentially toxigenic fungiAspergillus flavus was observed in 28% of the sampled food (black pepper, black tea, caraway seeds, fine flour, fruit tea, oat flakes) in the year 1999, in 17% of the sampled food (black pepper, black tea, caraway seeds, fine flour, fruit tea, oat flakes) in the year 2000 and in 18% of the sampled food (black pepper, black tea, caraway seeds, fine flour, fruit tea, oat flakes) in the year 2001.Aspergillus
