Objective To investigate multiple mycotoxin contamination and patterns in Triticum aestivum L. samples from China in 2023 and 2024. Methods A total of 248 Triticum aestivum L. samples were randomly collected from the main Triticum aestivum L.-producing areas of the country (2023: 145; 2024: 103). Simultaneously, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the content of various mycotoxins in Triticum aestivum L.. Results The total exceeding rate of mycotoxin contamination in 248 Triticum aestivum L. was 98.0%. The positivity rate for these mycotoxins ranged from 0.4% to 87.1%, with average contamination levels ranging from 0.4 to 604.3 μg/kg. Positive mean values for regulated toxins such as deoxynivalenol and zearalenone, and emerging toxins such as alternariol and enniatins in Triticum aestivum L. were lower in 2024 than in 2023. In addition, the results of zearalenone ELISA (2023: 91.5%, 88.5 μg/kg; 2024: 92.2%,79.4 μg/kg) had relatively large differencey from those of LC-MS/MS (2023: 28.7%, 17.7 μg/kg; 2024: 29.1%, 5.0 μg/kg). Conclusion Triticum aestivum L. mycotoxin contamination is less severe in 2024 than in 2023. Higher levels of contamination with deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside, alternariol and beauvericin are also found in Triticum aestivum L..
