Fourteen samples of chicken and quail eggs available in the Czech market were tested for the occurrence deoxynivalenol and zearalenone using ELISA kits Ridascreen DON and Ridascreen ZEA. The eggs originated from different egg farms and factories; the yolk and albumen was always analysed separately. Ten samples contained zearalenone in the concentration range 50.03 - 218.03 ng/kg but only two samples were contaminated in yolk as well as in albumen. Any kind of trend was not found in the zearalenone distribution and any sample did not contain deoxynivalenol.
