In Taiwan, half of peanut butter that was sampled—20 samples in all from various stores, supermarkets and online markets—were found to contain aflatoxin.

However, the CF reminded customers that continually consuming aflatoxin-contaminated food could be extremely hazardous. They also suggested that the public immediately freeze food items immediately upon opening the packaging.
