Although homegrown maize had the highest levels of contamination and most samples in 2005 and 2006 exceeded the regulatory limit for aflatoxin, many purchased maize samples also had aflatoxin levels above the regulatory limit, some as high as 13,800 ppb in 2005.
By the beginning of August 2011, hardly any samples violated the regulatory limit, until the trend was reversed by mid-August due to high radiocesium found primarily in mushrooms (other foods occasionally exceeding the limits were, e.g., seaweed or (citrus) fruits).
