The greatest dangerous trichothecene generated through Fusarium spp., mainly F. sporotrichioides, is T-۲ toxin. T-۲ toxin is an environmental pollutant that really can cause a considerable illnesses and even death in humans and animals. It can be found in a range of farm products. The goal of the current study was to use high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to analyze T-۲ mycotoxin in cereal samples that contained (≥۱ppm). This is Iraq's first HPLC-based T-۲ toxin analysis investigation. Baghdad City's local markets took a total of ۲۰ commonly produced cereal product tests and rated them. T-۲ toxin presented for ۴۰% of cereal products, with the greatest amount identified in a sample of flour corn was ۱.۹ ppm. In comparison with the volume of produced specimens, the incidence of toxin-contaminated specimens is not very low.
