Mycotoxin Testing

Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by certain molds that can contaminate cannabis during cultivation or storage. These naturally occurring toxins pose serious health risks, including liver damage, immune suppression, and increased cancer risk with chronic exposure.

Target Analytes

We screen for five of the most dangerous mycotoxins known to contaminate agricultural products:

  • Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, and G2: Highly carcinogenic toxins produced by Aspergillus species
  • Ochratoxin A: Kidney toxin and possible carcinogen

Regulatory Limits

Products fail mycotoxin testing if any individual compound exceeds its specified limit, or if the combined total of all mycotoxins exceeds 20 ppb. Stricter limits apply to flower products compared to concentrates, reflecting the concentration effect during extraction.

    Why Mycotoxin Testing Matters

    Mycotoxins are heat-stable and cannot be eliminated through cooking or processing. Once present in cannabis, they persist through extraction and manufacturing. Prevention through proper cultivation and storage practices—combined with rigorous testing—is essential to protect consumers.
