Consumers can have confidence in Australia's "world-leading standards" in food production, Ms Beattie saidafter a family lunch in the small Victorian town of Leongatha, and the ongoing police investigation into it. But the likelihood of a death cap mushroom ending up in the button mushroom supply chain in Australia is "actually impossible", said Georgia Beattie, CEO of Bulla Park, Australia's largest organic mushroom farm, and the chair of the Australian Mushroom Growers Association.
Death caps cause nine out of 10 mushroom poisoning deaths, killing between 10 to 30 per cent of those who consume it.
