What is this? Aflatoxins are harmful substances made by moulds. They can grow on groundnuts (peanuts) if stored badly.
What's happening? Some groundnuts from India had too much aflatoxin. The Netherlands stopped these nuts at the border.
Does this affect me? Only if you bought Indian groundnuts in the Netherlands. Most stores removed them.
