Growers slam 'excessive' mycotoxin rules.

The article reports that the National Farmers' Union (NFU) has criticized the excessive regulations regarding mycotoxins adopted by the food industry as they put unreasonable demands on farmers in Great Britain. During a milling supply chain meeting on October 20, 2009, NFU claimed that the excessive rules are also letting down the whole wheat supply chain. Ian Backhouse of NFU cited the effort of the union to establish appropriate techniques to manage mycotoxin risks.
