Article Synopsis
- Aflatoxins are toxic and cancer-causing substances from fungi that have been found in pistachio nuts.
- In a study analyzing 3,356 samples from Iran over a year, Aflatoxin B1 was detected in 36.7% of samples, with an average concentration of 5.9 ng/g.
- While some samples exceeded Iran's maximum tolerated level for Aflatoxin B1, the overall contamination levels for total aflatoxins were below both local and international safety thresholds.
