The objective of this study was to evaluate the natural occurrence of deoxynivalenol (DON) in wheat, wheat flour and different kinds of breads and pastries widely consumed by the population in Argentina. Of 60 wheat samples analysed, 93.3% were contaminated. The average DON contamination level over all samples was 1798 micrograms/kg, and the minimum and maximum values were 100 micrograms/kg and 9250 micrograms/kg, respectively. The wheat flour samples (61 samples) were contaminated with DON at levels ranging from 250 micrograms/kg to 9000 micrograms/kg with an average of 1309 micrograms/kg. The frequency of DON contamination over 42 samples of different bakery products was 92.8%, with levels ranging from 200 micrograms/kg to 2800 micrograms/kg with an average of 464 micrograms/kg. These results suggest a high risk for consumers of wheat products and the need to monitor final products before consumption.
