Aspergillus flavus is a saprophytic fungus, which is common in decaying grains and organic matter. Corn, soybean and other food crops are easily polluted by Aspergillus flavus during their growth. If the pollution is not treated properly, Aspergillus flavus fungi may multiply in large numbers.

Foods such as peanuts, walnuts, corn and dairy products, as well as cooking utensils such as condiments and cooking oil, will also release aflatoxin after expiration. In addition, in humid environment, Aspergillus flavus will release a large number of aflatoxins.

Extended data:

Avoid ingesting aflatoxin and start with safe consumption.

Many people like to buy so-called natural homemade cooking oil without additives, but the raw materials of these homemade cooking oils are not safe. Once they are contaminated, it is likely that aflatoxin will exceed the standard.

Vegetable oil sold in regular supermarkets is produced according to national standards, and its aflatoxin content is controlled at a fairly low level. Therefore, consumers are advised to go to regular supermarkets to buy safe edible oil.

In addition, there are peanuts, walnuts, corn, dairy products, seasonings, edible oil and so on. It should be discarded as soon as possible at home.
