Toxins

In 1998, arsenic poisoning in Japan made headlines when curry mixed with arsenic was served at a festival leading to 63 deaths. Cases of pesticide poisoning upon consumption of various farm products hit the newsstand almost every day.

Natural toxins are chemicals that are naturally produced by living organisms. Toxins are found in a staggering range of matrices, from grains, fruits, spices, meat, seafood, milk, and nuts to animal feed.
