How can the presence of aflatoxins in food be controlled? -- This virtual briefing looks at two Kenyan studies on the effects of fungi, mycotxins and aflatoxins. Caused naturally, common fungus has been isolated in soils, maize, millet and sorghum in both regions. They are even found in infants' food. Erastus K. Kang'ethe of the University of Nairobi speaks about the reasons for high contaminations -- both on the natural, agricultural side as well as a result of cultural practice and societal problems.
