New Zealand Food Safety deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle said aflatoxins came from a group of moulds that grew on foods produced in hot and tropical climates.

“Levels of aflatoxin in the New Zealand diet are usually very low and don’t represent a health risk, however, consumption of food products with increased levels of aflatoxin over an extended period of time can be harmful.”
