A question was raised by an Extension agent to the State Specialist about a recommendation made in training she attended. The recommendation was that children should not each more than 4 tablespoons of peanut butter a week because of aflatoxin exposure.
Aflatoxin is a toxic compound formed by molds on improperly stored nuts and grains.
The compound can cause both acute and long-term health problems, must notably liver cancer. However, large peanut butter, corn chip and cereal companies monitor their raw ingredients and only use grains that are low in aflatoxin. There is little risk from eating this toxic compound from brand name products produced in the U.S., even for small children. The problem could come with products from small companies or health food stores that are not able to monitor the levels in their ingredient supply. The consensus of the researchers on the Internet was that there is not a research-base to back up the recommendation.
