Difference between Foodborne illness and Mycotoxin

Foodborne illness vs. Mycotoxin

Foodborne illness (also foodborne disease and colloquially referred to as food poisoning) is any illness resulting from the food spoilage of contaminated food, pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites that contaminate food, as well as toxins such as poisonous mushrooms and various species of beans that have not been boiled for at least 10 minutes. A mycotoxin (from the Greek μύκης mykes, "fungus" and τοξικόν toxikon, "poison") is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by organisms of the fungus kingdom and is capable of causing disease and death in both humans and other animals.

Similarities between Foodborne illness and Mycotoxin

Foodborne illness and Mycotoxin have 19 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aflatoxin, Agriculture, Alternaria, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus parasiticus, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Ergot, European Commission, European Committee for Standardization, Food and Drug Administration, Fumonisin, Fusarium, Mushroom poisoning, Ochratoxin, Patulin, Stachybotrys, Toxin, Trichothecene, Zearalenone.

Aflatoxin

Aflatoxins are poisonous carcinogens that are produced by certain molds (Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus) which grow in soil, decaying vegetation, hay, and grains.
