Effective public health strategies to mitigate zearalenone exposure include:
Education and awareness campaigns for farmers and consumers about the risks and prevention of mycotoxin contamination. Implementation of good agricultural practices (GAP) and post-harvest handling to reduce fungal contamination. Utilization of mycotoxin-binding agents in animal feed to reduce absorption in livestock. Regular monitoring and testing of food products for zearalenone contamination. Strengthening regulatory frameworks and enforcement mechanisms to ensure compliance with safety standards.
