Aflatoxin
Recommendations
To help minimize risk, the FDA tests foods that may contain aflatoxin. Peanuts and peanut butter are some of the most rigorously tested products by FDA because they frequently contain aflatoxins and are widely consumed.
You can reduce aflatoxin intake by:
- Buying only major brands of nuts and nut butters
- Discarding any nuts that look moldy, discolored or shriveled
