Overview

Molecular characterization reveals high aflatoxin contamination in stored grains, indicating risks for food safety and public health.

Key Points

  • Contamination reached 65% in samples exceeding NAFDAC limits for aflatoxins.
  • The predominant fungi included Aspergillus parasiticus and other species contributing to mycotoxin risks.
  • Assessment utilized molecular characterization techniques such as PCR and Thin Layer Chromatography.
  • Highlighting the urgent need for measures to mitigate aflatoxin risk in food products.
