Aflatoxins, a harmful variety of mycotoxins produced primarily by the fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, are responsible for causing billions of dollars in losses to the global economy by contaminating crops such as cotton, peanuts, maize, and chili peppers. The health effects of aflatoxins on humans and animals are severe. To date, there have been 18 different types of aflatoxins identified, with B1, B2, G1, and G2 being the most prevalent and dangerous. The control of aflatoxin contamination depends heavily on early detection of fungal infection. The presence of aflatoxins in food and feed is a major concern due to its negative impact on human and animal health and the economy. To mitigate the impact of aflatoxins, it is important to understand the mechanisms of contamination, the impact of aflatoxins, and the management strategies that can be employed to reduce contamination. In this context, an updated review on aflatoxin contamination, its impact and management strategies can provide valuable information for researchers, policymakers, and food safety professionals.
