Aflatoxins are a group of toxins produced by certain fungi, mostly notably Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. These are found naturally in the environment and can contaminate various crops, including maize, rice, tree nuts and, notably, peanuts.

According to the Cancer Institute, exposure to aflatoxins is associated with an increased risk of liver cancer. The National Consumer Commission has recently recalled six South African peanut butter brands.
