What is aflatoxin?
Aflatoxin is a toxin produced by a mold that grows on grains, corn, and wheat. When cows are fed contaminated feed, aflatoxin is then secreted into the milk they produce. Consuming milk contaminated with aflatoxin has serious consequences for human health. According to the WHO, aflatoxin is a Group 1 carcinogen, increasing the risk of liver and kidney problems.
