Editing Aflatoxin (section)

==Prevention==

A primary means of limiting risk from aflatoxins in the food supply is [[food hygiene]] in the commercial commodity supply chain, such as rejecting moldy grain for use in [[food processing]] plants and testing of batches of ingredients for aflatoxin levels before adding them to the mix. Regulatory agencies such as the FDA set limits on acceptable levels. [[Grain drying]] itself, which is [[grain drying#History|necessary for viable combine harvesting in many regions]], lays the fundamentals for this effort by preventing stored grain from being too damp in the first place.

There is very limited evidence to show that agricultural and nutritional education can reduce exposure to aflatoxin in low to middle income countries.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Visser ME, Schoonees A, Ezekiel CN, Randall NP, Naude CE | title = Agricultural and nutritional education interventions for reducing aflatoxin exposure to improve infant and child growth in low- and middle-income countries | journal = The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews | volume = 2020 | pages = CD013376 | date = April 2020 | issue = 4 | pmid = 32270495 | pmc = 7141997 | doi = 10.1002/14651858.cd013376.pub2}}</ref>
