Swedish blood‐pudding, kidneys, muscular tissue and adipose tissue from pigs, naturally contaminated with ochratoxin A, were analysed for ochratoxin A before and after cooking. Frying temperatures were 150–160°C. On average about 20% of the toxin was lost during cooking. In the adipose tissue no toxin was lost.
