AB  - Bee pollen, promoted as a natural food supplement, is consumed increasingly by 
      people to maintain a healthy diet. Depending on environmental conditions, pollen 
      can also be an optimum medium for growth of molds such as Fusarium and 
      Penicillium . A quick, easy, cheap, rapid, and safe (QuEChERS) extraction 
      procedure followed by a gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) 
      determination of eight selected Fusarium toxins in bee pollen was developed and 
      optimized. Recovery studies at 20, 80, and 1000 mug/kg showed values between 73 
      and 95% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of <15% for all studied 
      mycotoxins. Limits of quantitation (LOQ) ranged from 1 to 4 mug/kg. The proposed 
      method was applied to the analysis of 15 commercial samples. Two of 15 samples 
      showed quantifiable values for neosolaniol and nivalenol.
