What is this? Aflatoxin B1 is a poison made by mold. It can grow on nuts like groundnuts if they are not stored properly.
What's happening? Some groundnut kernels from India were found to have too much aflatoxin B1. These nuts were meant for birds, not people.
Does this affect me? If you feed birds, check the bag. If it says “India,” do not use it.
What should I do? Throw away any suspect feed. Ask your vet or pet store for safe bird food.
