Rice is a cereal crop that is not typically considered a host for the fungi that produce aflatoxins. However, rice can become contaminated with aflatoxins if it is grown in fields that are contaminated with aflatoxigenic mold, or if it is stored in conditions that are conducive to mold growth. Aflatoxins can be found in rice as a result of contamination during growth or storage, as aflatoxigenic molds can grow on rice in the field or during storage if the conditions are favourable. For example, if the rice is stored in high humidity and warm temperatures, mold can grow and produce aflatoxins.
