– This is not serious. You have to eat a lot and for a long time for it to work. The limit for this toxin is set strictly, says marketing manager Annika Sund in Leksands to TV 2.
Ocratoxins are naturally occurring toxins that can be found in moldy grains, peanuts, meat, dried fish and the like, according to Store norske leksikon. The drug can cause kidney damage in humans and is suspected to be carcinogenic.
