What is Aflatoxin?
Fen Beed
IITA, Tanzania
Breakout Session 4 on Food Security
Science Forum 2013
Nutrition and health outcomes: targets for agricultural
research, 23‒25 September 2013, Bonn, Germany
Invisible and odourless metabolites produced
by ubiquitous fungus Aspergillus flavus
Problem; perfect aflatoxin storm in sub-Saharan Africa
susceptible
crops
susceptible
climate
suboptimal
production systems
35o N & S
Under-reported
Problem; aflatoxin harms people and animals
acute
hepatitis, cirrhosis
chronic
anti-nutritional
reduced vigour
Problem; aflatoxin harms trade
Two phases of aflatoxin contamination
Before crop maturity
Developing crops become infected
Associated with crop damage (insect, bird, stress)
Favoured by high temperature (night) and dry conditions
After crop maturity
Contamination is increased;
By rain during harvest
By drying on soil
By poor handling during harvest, transport and storage
By storage if humid, warm, insect infested
Food is vulnerable until consumed!
Awareness
• Harmonized standards in foods and feeds
• Enhanced capacity of regulators
• Standard protocols for sampling and quantification
• Alternative uses (treat with ammonia and feed to cattle)
• Inclusion in nutrition and health policies
• Critical role of PACA and RECs
Advocacy and policies
Aflatoxin summary
Agricultural issue with significant, negative impacts on;
Food safety
Public health
Animal health
Trade
