Abstract:
243 food samples (maize, ground nut and its products) were assessed. 90% of sample well preserved at home were contaminated with aflatoxine. The contaminant level passed the standard limit (8.3% as regulated by the Ministry of Health). The main measure to overcome aflatoxine contamination on food was considered GAP (good agricultural production) in all stages of agricultural production and preservation.
