Abstract
This is an overview of the most important toxicogenic species of molds that contaminate human food and animal feed. Effects of fungal secondary metabolites are described. Attention is focused on toxicogenic species of Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium. Species of other genera reported as toxicogenic are also considered.
