In 2006, EFSA evaluated ochratoxin A and estimated a total mean dietary exposure of 15-20 ng/kg bw per week with a high percentile around 60 ng/kg bw per week, based on an average contamination for cereals of 0.29 pg/kg and a high percentile for cereal consumption of 568 g/day (97.5th percentile consumers only in Sweden) (European Food Safety Authority, 2006).

Breakfast cereal consumption in developed countries has increased steadily, especially since the 1960s. The Irish, English, Australians, and North Americans are the main per capita consumers, with annual intakes of 4 to 6 kg. In the United States, the RTE market exceeds yearly sales of 6.8 billion (Le Corre 2006). The multibillion...

By approximately 8 weeks after birth, the mminant has developed a fully functional mmen capable of extensive fermentation of feed nutrients (4). The rate of development of the mminal environment depends on the amount of milk consumed by the neonate in relation to its growth requirements, the avadabihty and consumption of readily digestible feedstuffs, and the physical form of the feedstuffs (4). The mmen develops much faster with hay than with milk (36). Concentrates, ie, high cereal grain diets, increase the absorptive surface of the mmen but mminal size and musculature develops much more slowly with a concentrate diet than with a forage diet (4). 

A rather impressive Hst of materials and products are made from renewable resources. For example, per capita consumption of wood is twice that of all metals combined. The ceUulosic fibers, rayon and cellulose acetate, are among the oldest and stiU relatively popular textile fibers and plastics. Soy and other oilseeds, including the cereals, are refined into important commodities such as starch, protein, oil, and their derivatives. The naval stores, turpentine, pine oil, and resin, are stiU important although their sources are changing from the traditional gum and pine stumps to tall oil recovered from pulping. 

Across Europe the relative significance of organic foods within different food groups varies. The most recent comprehensive analysis of these patterns is provided by Hamm and Gronefeld (2004). In the EU as a whole, the most significant share of organics (by volume) in total consumption is for cereals...
