This mycotoxin sampling tool, used to evaluate the performance of sampling plans for various mycotoxin/commodity combinations, is based on a model developed by Dr. Thomas Whitaker and Mr. Andrew Slate during 46 years of mycotoxin sampling research with USDA-ARS and North Carolina State University.

FAO wishes to express gratitude to Dr. Thomas Whitaker and Mr. Andrew Slate for their invaluable contributions to the development of this tool.
