For food processors
Physical separation of contaminated material can be an effective means of reducing aflatoxin levels in contaminated commodities. For example, colour sorting is often used to remove mouldy peanuts from bulk shipments. Density segregation, mechanical separation and the removal of fines and screenings from grain and nut shipments can also be effective measures.
Chemical decontamination methods have been investigated, especially for material used in animal feed, but most of the methods investigated are impractical, or produce toxic by-products. Biological decontamination has also been considered, and a single bacterial species, Flavobacterium aurantiacum, has been shown to remove aflatoxin B1 from peanuts and corn.
Although decontamination methods for aflatoxin M1 in milk and dairy products have also been investigated, most of these are not practical for the dairy industry. The only really effective control is to minimise the contamination of materials used in animal feed for dairy cows.
