There is no established tolerance limit for Zearalenone, but because it is produced by a fusarium, I would say the limits should be similar to vomitoxin (also produced by a fusarium. Acceptable vomitoxin levels in the corn ranges from 5-100ppm depending on species. Just to give an idea, acceptable levels in the corn are 20ppm for swine, 30ppm for breeding cattle/poultry, 60ppm for slaughter cattle, and 100ppm for slaughter poultry. For accepted level in finished feed product, cut those numbers in half.
