Estimation of Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) for Immunological Effects of Aflatoxin

Nikita Saha Turna et al.

Summary: Aflatoxins are toxic chemicals produced by fungi that frequently contaminate crops in warm climates. Coexposure to dietary aflatoxin and infectious pathogens may compromise the immune system, increasing the risk of infectious diseases. Studies show a noncarcinogenic tolerable daily intake of aflatoxin and highlight the importance of considering its noncarcinogenic effects for public health regulations.

Risk assessment of dietary exposure to aflatoxin B1 in Serbia

Bozidar Udovicki et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the exposure to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in commonly consumed foods in Serbia, finding that children had the highest exposure levels, raising concerns for their health. The Margin of Exposure (MOE) calculation and estimation of potential hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases revealed low MOE values and a range of possible HCC cases per year based on population groups.

Exposure to aflatoxins and fumonisins and linear growth of children in rural Ethiopia: a longitudinal study

Masresha Tessema et al.

Summary: The study found high levels of aflatoxin exposure among rural Ethiopian children, with significant variation between seasons and individuals. However, there was no clear association between aflatoxin exposure and protein status, inflammation, or linear growth, suggesting the need for further research to explore potential biological interactions and assess sources of high exposure.

Introducing an aflatoxin-safe labeling program in complex food supply chains: Evidence from a choice experiment in Nigeria

Awa Sanou et al.

Summary: Food contaminated with aflatoxins is a prominent food safety issue in developing countries, imposing a burden on nations dealing with the consequences. The study shows that maize traders are willing to pay a premium for aflatoxin-safe certification, especially those selling to large feed mills and retailers.

Dietary Risk Assessment and Consumer Awareness of Mycotoxins among Household Consumers of Cereals, Nuts and Legumes in North-Central Nigeria

Chibundu N. Ezekiel et al.

Summary: This study found that various mycotoxins, especially aflatoxins and citrinin, were widely present in foods consumed by households in two north-central Nigerian states during the harvest and storage seasons of 2018, leading to potential health risks. The awareness level of households regarding mycotoxin issues was generally low.

Contributions of integrated aflatoxin management strategies to achieve the sustainable development goals in various African countries

Alejandro Ortega-Beltran et al.

Summary: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by all United Nations Member States aims to achieve peace and prosperity for all people on the planet. Achieving the ambitious goals of the agenda depends on fulfilling all objectives of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with food security and safety playing a crucial role. Biocontrol of aflatoxin contamination in staple crops such as maize and groundnut in sub-Saharan Africa has been identified as a practical solution to improve food safety, with potential to contribute to the achievement of various targets of the SDGs.

Fungal Diversity and Aflatoxins in Maize and Rice Grains and Cassava-Based Flour (Pupuru) from Ondo State, Nigeria

Daniella O. Ekpakpale et al.

Summary: Grains and cassava-based foods are major dietary sources for households in Nigeria, but are highly prone to contamination by moulds and aflatoxins due to poor storage and vending practices. Research revealed a high diversity of fungi in maize, cassava-based flour, and rice sold in markets, with Aspergillus flavus being the predominant species. Aflatoxins were detected in the majority of food samples, with some exceeding the safety threshold set by Nigeria.
