Aflatoxin is a type of toxin that can cause liver cancer, and it is very toxic, a severely moldy corn can poison two ducklings to death. However, the temperature range suitable for the growth and toxinization of Aspergillus flavus is 12 42, and it cannot produce toxin below 0. Therefore, after sealing the fresh, uncontaminated steamed bread, put it in a clean refrigerator and freeze it, there is no need to worry about the problem of aflatoxin.
So, which foods are susceptible to contamination with Aspergillus flavus?
Moldy, bitter nuts.
If the nuts are bitter and moldy, aflatoxins may be present, and if you eat them, you should spit them out immediately and rinse your mouth repeatedly. If the stored nuts are moldy or not the color is correct, don't eat them.
Moldy peanuts, corn.
Peanuts and corn stored in a humid environment for a long time may become mildew and carry aflatoxins. If you find such peanuts and corn, you should throw them all away, and don't just remove the moldy parts, because even if they are removed, other particles may have been contaminated and still have potential carcinogenicity.
