Aflatoxin Basic Facts

•Highly toxic metabolite produced by the ubiquitous Aspergillus flavus fungus
•The fungus resides in soil and crop debris, infects crops and produces the toxin in the field and in stores
•Contamination possible without visible signs of the fungus
•Fungus are usually carried from field to store

Prevalence of Aflatoxins in Food & Feed
•Several African staple commodities affected
•High human exposure in Africa – mother to baby
•Levels and frequency of occurrence high
•Concern for food and feed processors, government and emergency food reserve agencies, school-feeding
•Aflatoxins disproportionately impact the poor
•Highly toxic strains, conducive environmental conditions, traditional farming methods and improper grain drying and storage practices, unregulated markets

We decided to Do something about it because:
