Copra is highly susceptible to the growth of molds and their production of [[aflatoxin]]s if not dried properly. Aflatoxins can be highly toxic, and are among the most potent known natural [[carcinogen]]s, particularly affecting the liver.<ref name="LuiWu">{{cite journal |last1=Liu |first1=Yan |last2=Wu |first2=Felicia |title=Global Burden of Aflatoxin-Induced Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Risk Assessment |journal=Environmental Health Perspectives |date=June 2010 |volume=118 |issue=6 |pages=818–824 |doi=10.1289/ehp.0901388 |pmid=20172840 |pmc=2898859|bibcode=2010EnvHP.118..818L }}</ref> Aflatoxins in copra cake, fed to animals, can be passed on to [[milk]] or meat from livestock, leading to human illnesses.<ref name=Fratamicopm>{{cite book |last1=Fratamico |first1=Pina M. |last2=Bhunia |first2=Arun K. |last3=Smith |first3=James L. |name-list-style=vanc |title=Foodborne Pathogens: Microbiology and Molecular Biology |date=2008 |publisher=Horizon Scientific Press |location=Norofolk, UK |isbn=978-1-898486-52-7}}
