Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by some Aspergillus and Penicillium species, and is widely present in grains (such as cereals), spices, dried fruit and coffee beans. Ochratoxin A can be accumulated in the meat of animals, and therefore can be found in meat and meat products.
