What is Ochratoxin A (OTA)? Is OTA found in coffee?

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a toxin produced by certain molds that can be found in moldy coffee. OTA is seldom found in coffee and is not known to have created health issues for coffee drinkers. However, coffee roasters and suppliers must be aware of OTA and prepared to address inquiries from inspectors.
