The low incidence of patulin levels in Italian products is a clear parameter to assess the quality of the fruit and their derived products. However, constant surveillance of the occurrence of this toxin in baby foods is recommended because the available data is limited and the incidence and level of this toxin could change according to factors like: climate conditions, pH, type and stage of fruit and vegetable maturation (Drusch & Ragab, 2003), and technological treatments (Kadakal & Nas, 2003).
