Not all yeasts (fungi/mould) produce mycotoxins. Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) used to make baked goods, grows on grapes and other fruits. It does not produce harmful mycotoxins. You can find a list of common mycotoxin producing fungi such as Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium on this web page. Mycotoxins are removed from grains such as wheat after harvest and before food processing using a variety of methods .

While it is possible that wheat can give some individuals gas and bloating due to things like fructans it is not likely caused by the baker's yeast in bread and baked goods.
