Kenya – Dangerous Aflatoxin Levels Found in Popular Kenyan Flour Brand
The discovery of excessive levels of aflatoxin in a popular brand of maize flour has prompted the Ministry of Health to take immediate action.
The Ministry has cautioned the public against consuming the contaminated flour and directed county health officers to seize all existing stock from the Kenyan market. This decisive step comes after laboratory analysis on April 30 revealed an alarming concentration of 714 parts per billion (ppb) of aflatoxin in the flour, significantly exceeding the standard safety requirements. Aflatoxin, a naturally occurring toxin produced by certain moulds, is known for its harmful effects on human and animal health.

Research – Analysis of flour and rice shows high levels of harmful fungal toxins
By analyzing samples of flour and rice stored in homes in Ribeirão Preto, in the interior of the state of São Paulo (Brazil), researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP) found the presence of high levels of fungal toxins (mycotoxins). The study is published in the journal Food Research International.
The six toxins of concern were found in all the food samples analyzed: aflatoxins (AFs), fumonisins (FBs), zearalenone (ZEN), T-2 toxin, deoxynivalenol (DON), and ochratoxin A (OTA). In the case of the mycotoxins FBs, ZEN, and DON, the levels were above the tolerance limit set by the health authorities. This study was the first in Brazil to use biomarkers to characterize the risk associated with mycotoxins in the diet of children and adolescents.
