What must be done to get toxin out of Kenya’s food supply (The Conversation)

The Conversation published a Q & A article with Research Fellow Vivian Hoffmann on her insights about aflatoxins, a poisonous, toxic chemical produced by a fungus (Aspergillus flavus). Aflatoxins are found in many of Kenya’s popular maize flour brands. Hoffman discusses how to reduce and eventually eliminate aflatoxins in food and the roles that farmers, governments, and consumers must play in this. Republished in Nairobi News.
