The study showed out of 140 samples of food and feed analyzed 40 samples were found contaminated with aflatoxins.
The highest content was detected in animal feed while peanut butter contained the minimum content.
From the total samples 70% were found free of aflatoxins and 30% were contaminated with range of total aflatoxins ND-152.5. Aflatoxin B1 was the most common contaminant followed by aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin G1, and lastly aflatoxin G2.
