Not totally... but in the grand scheme of things it is fairly safe... though right about now I would say it is safer in grains marketed for HUMAN consumption. Quality control seems to be a lot more stringent for it.

Because of this, South Dakota Wheat Growers (SDWG)= requests that representative bin samples be submitted prior to delivery. R= epresentative samples can be obtained utilizing the SDWG bin probing servic= e and new changes have been made to the wheat probing program. See Station = Manager for complete details. Also, effective 1/3/06, each incoming wheat load will be submitted to Aberd= een Grain Inspection for Vomotoxin testing. The cost will be entirely at SDWG=92s expense and submitted at no charge to= the customer.=20 Results are usually available within 2 to 3 business days and Vomotoxin ins= pection results will be included in final settlement. =20 I believe it can also be found in barley, soybeans, millet, and sorghum.
