For enforcement agencies
Many countries monitor imported commodities that are susceptible to aflatoxin contamination, such as pistachios and Brazil nuts, by sampling and analysis. A number of analytical methods have been developed based on TLC, HPLC and ELISA and there are also rapid screening kits available. However, moulds and aflatoxins in bulk food shipments tend to be highly heterogeneous in their distribution and it is essential to ensure that an adequate sampling plan is used to monitor imported materials.
In some commodities, such as figs, aflatoxins fluoresce strongly under UV-light and this can be used as a rapid screening test for high concentrations.
