Natural toxins are chemicals that are naturally produced by living organisms. These toxins are not harmful to the organisms themselves but they may be toxic to other creatures, including humans, when eaten. Some plants have the capacity to naturally produce compounds that are toxic to humans when consumed.

These toxins are not harmful to the organisms themselves but they may be toxic to other creatures, including humans, when eaten. Some plants have the capacity to naturally produce compounds that are toxic to humans when consumed. For example, under certain conditions, microscopic algae (tiny plants) in the ocean can produce compounds that are toxic to humans but not to shellfish that eat this algae. When people eat shellfish that contain these toxins, illness can quickly follow. There is an active monitoring program in place to ensure that shellfish sold to Canadians do not contain these "shellfish toxins". This monitoring program is jointly administered by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and Environment Canada. Mycotoxins are another group of natural toxins. The word mycotoxin is derived from the Greek word for fungus 'mykes' and the Latin word 'toxicum' meaning poison. Mycotoxins are toxic chemical products formed by fungi that can grow on crops in the field or after harvest. The foods that can be affected include cereals, nuts, fruit and dried fruit, coffee, cocoa, spices, oilseeds and milk. There are now more than 300 known mycotoxins of widely different chemical structures and differing modes of action - some target the kidney, liver, or immune system and some are carcinogenic. Common mycotoxins include aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, ergot alkaloids, fumonisins, patulin, trichothecenes (such as deoxynivalenol which is also known as vomitoxin) and zearalenone.

Read More »Health Canada as well as other federal government partners including the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, and the Canadian Grain Commission undertake regular monitoring of the levels of various natural toxins in foods. These surveillance efforts enable the current exposure of Canadians to natural toxins in foods to be determined, which in turn allows for the risks to human health to be estimated and strategies to manage any associated risks to be developed. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency also monitors to ensure compliance with any maximum levels.
