What is this? Aflatoxin is a poison made by mold. It can grow on nuts like groundnuts if they are not stored well.
What's happening? Some groundnuts from the USA were found to have too much aflatoxin. They were stopped at the border in the Netherlands.
Does this affect me? If you bought groundnuts from the USA recently, check the package. If it says "recalled," do not eat them.
What should I do? Throw away any recalled groundnuts. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you feel sick after eating them.
