More than you Ever Wanted to Know about Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are molds, deadly molds, prone to grow on many common pet food ingredients.  While many pet owners are familiar with aflatoxin contamination (causing pet food recalls in the past), a 2007 scientific report seems to suggest numerous mycotoxins even at low levels over time can cause serious health consequences to our pets.
