Abstract
Mycotoxins are significant contaminants in food and agricultural commodities, particularly in developing countries like Ethiopia, where regulatory measures for mycotoxin control are inadequate. Mycotoxin contamination poses substantial risks to human and animal health, and economic stability in these regions, potentially adversely affecting food availability and security. This review aimed to assess the mycotoxin contamination status in Ethiopian foods, its impacts, factors contributing to its contamination, challenges to control it, and mitigation strategies in Ethiopian foods and agricultural commodities. Several notable mycotoxins have been found in various food items, and the levels of many of these mycotoxins are higher than the maximum allowable levels of FAO/WHO and EU. Different mitigation strategies are recommended, including agricultural improvements, and physical, chemical, and agronomic approaches, tailored for affordability among low-income farmers. The review concludes with proposals for sustained public awareness campaigns and enhanced technical and human capacity development within the country.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
