Aflatoxin B1 is a toxin produced by some species of molt, which can contain cereals, especially corn. Prolonged exposure to it can cause liver damage and increase the risk of developing cancer.
The AUV has warned that through food contaminated for animals, this toxin can be transformed into M1 analthoctitis and passed into milk, presenting potential risks to consumer health.
The agency has called on farmers, producers and businessmen to ensure the origin and traceability of products, implement the right conservation conditions, and not use or trade corn beyond the allowed limits of Aflatoxin B1.
