Native cereal beer, pito, brewed in Jos metropolis during the 1984 late planting season was screened for zearalenone content. Zearalenone was detected in pito from 28 of the 46 breweries in 13 of the 14 districts sampled, with mean concentration of 81.75 ± 50.16 μg/liter and range 12.50–200.00 μg/liter. Aflatoxin B 1 was detected in pooled extracts. There were other chloroform‐soluble isolates but their identities could not be established.
