Abstract

Bee pollen is a food supplement that is receiving increasing attention for its nutraceutical and therapeutic properties. However, several uncertainties on the safety of this beekeeping product still exist. The present work addressed this issue through the critical evaluation of 61 studies, published over the 2014–2024 period, and focused on the analysis of pesticides and mycotoxins in bee pollen. A comprehensive examination of the analytical procedures employed for the analysis of these contaminants was performed. Overall, 358 pesticides and 7 mycotoxins were found in bee pollen, with certain compounds being globally distributed and frequently encountered. An overview of the existing European regulations concerning pesticide and mycotoxin levels in food was presented, emphasizing the exclusion of bee pollen from the list of monitored commodities. The findings of the reviewed studies revealed the necessity of gathering more data on bee pollen's contamination and consumption, in order to finally perform reliable risk assessments.

揭开蜂花粉受农药和霉菌毒素污染的真相:当前的分析程序、结果和监管
蜂花粉是一种食品补充剂,因其营养保健和治疗特性而受到越来越多的关注。然而,这种养蜂产品的安全性仍存在一些不确定性。本研究对 2014-2024 年间发表的 61 项研究进行了严格评估,重点分析了蜂花粉中的农药和霉菌毒素,从而解决了这一问题。对分析这些污染物所采用的分析程序进行了全面检查。总体而言,在蜂花粉中发现了 358 种杀虫剂和 7 种霉菌毒素,其中某些化合物在全球范围内分布广泛且经常出现。报告概述了欧洲有关食品中农药和霉菌毒素含量的现行法规,强调蜂花粉不在受监测商品之列。所审查的研究结果表明,有必要收集更多有关蜂花粉污染和消费的数据,以便最终进行可靠的风险评估。
