Abstract: Abstract:Zearalenone (ZEN), a nonsteroidal mycotoxin produced by fusarium with estrogen-like effects, and it contaminates various types of cereals and their products to varying degrees. Wheat and rice are the staple foods of Chinese residents, and understanding the contamination status and dietary exposure risk of ZEN in grains and their products is of great significance for maintaining food safety and promoting population health. This article reviewed the publications between 2012 and 2023 on ZEN contamination and dietary exposure assessment in cereals and their products, and found that the dietary exposure risk of ZEN contamination in cereals and their products was low. Continued efforts are needed to strengthen food safety monitoring and regulatory oversight to ensure food safety.
