Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin produced by fungi of the genus Aspergillus and Penicillium. OTA causes damage to the kidneys and liver in experimental animals and is even classified as a possible human carcinogen. As an occasional phenomenon, many foods in a particular region may be contaminated with OTA. Regardless of whether it is a developed or developing country, OTA contamination poses both public health and economic risks. We have compiled studies on OTA in food and humans (milk and blood) in Turkey over the last 25 years and discussed what needs to be done to reduce the public health risk.
