Peanut butter and aflatoxins

Peanut butter is a product made by cooking peanuts, blending them finely and adding other ingredients such as sugar, salt, and white butter, and mixing them together. It is usually eaten with bread for breakfast, as a snack, or used as an ingredient in peanut butter ramen soup, peanut butter macarons, peanut butter cookies, and peanut butter chocolate cookie smoothies. However, the main ingredient of peanut butter is peanuts, an agricultural product that is easily contaminated with a toxin called aflatoxin. This toxin is produced by Aspergillus spp. mold, which is often found in products such as peanuts, corn, garlic, onions, and wheat. If stored in an unsanitary, dirty place or in a humid place, Aspergillus spp. mold will grow and create aflatoxin and contaminate the product. แทงบอลยูโร
