Add as Preferred SourceThings worth knowing about "Aflatoxins"
Aflatoxins are toxic mycotoxins produced by certain molds that can contaminate foods such as grains, nuts, and dried fruits.
Aflatoxins are considered highly toxic and represent a major issue in food safety, as even trace amounts can be harmful. The risk of contamination is particularly high in warm and humid climates.
Exposure to aflatoxins can cause both acute and chronic health effects. Acute effects include liver damage, nausea, and abdominal pain. Long-term exposure is especially dangerous since aflatoxins are classified carcinogenic, with a strong link to the development of liver cancer.
To protect public health, strict regulatory limits for aflatoxins in food are enforced within the European Union. Regular monitoring and proper storage of food products are essential to minimize contamination risks. Consumers should prioritize safe sources and high-quality products to reduce exposure.
