Policy Brief No. 8, 2018, East African Communityhttps://doi.org/10.60682/bzdc-2597EAC Policy Brief on Aflatoxin Prevention and ControlAgricultural commodities, including maize, groundnuts, and cassava, milk, and cotton seed contaminated with aflatoxin pose serious threat to human and animal health, and to the economies of the EAC Partner States. It is, therefore, desirable that contamination should be prevented to the greatest extent possible. Given that eradication of aflatoxin contamination in foods is not feasible at the moment, alternative uses should be considered with disposal being the last resort. The EAC, however, doesn’t have established and functional mechanisms for disposal of aflatoxin-contaminated agricultural commodities.enOther
