Sixty-two samples of maize imported in The Netherlands and intended for human consumption were screened for the presence and concentration of fumonisin B1. Sixty-one of those samples contained fumonisin B1 with concentrations ranging from 30 to 3350 micrograms kg-1, 11 maize samples contained > 1000 micrograms kg-1. The average fumonisin B1 concentration was 640 micrograms kg-1 for the positive samples and 620 micrograms kg-1 for all samples. Medians were 600 micrograms kg-1 and 550 micrograms kg-1 for positive and all samples, respectively. The results obtained were comparable to results from other studies in maize from various countries.
