Citreoviridin is a mycotoxin which is produced by Penicillium and Aspergillus species.^{[2] [3] [4]} If rice, corn, cereals or meat products are contaminated with Penicillin citreoviridin, citreoviridin can be produced if the food is stored in a damp place.^[4] Consuming food which is contaminated with citreoviridin can cause the disease cardiac beri beri.^{[5] [6]} Furthermore, it damages liver and kidneys.^[5]
