title: The Risk of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids in Human Food and Animal Feed.
abstract: Toxicity from naturally occurring plant pyrrolizidine alkaloids bears substantial risk to humans and livestock. Risk management strategies must focus on minimizing the likelihood of such alkaloids entering into the food chain. To address this challenge, we describe the role of a tiered risk characterization approach and specific farm management practices.
