    Aflatoxin is a metabolite of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. It is one of the strongest carcinogens and can cause liver cancer and esophageal cancer. Aspergillus flavus mainly contaminates peanuts, corn, peanut oil, rice, etc. When buying and storing food, peanuts, soybeans and other foods, care must be taken to avoid mold. When buying peanut oil, choose products that are reliable and free of aflatoxin.
