§ Mr. Skinnerasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will now take steps to regulate the amount of aflotoxin in human food; and what arrangements have so far been made by importers and manufacturers to restrict aflotoxin in their products.
§ Mrs. FennerIn December 1980 the Government prohibited the import of groundnut products for animal feed containing detectable aflotoxin, in order to prevent contamination of milk. Discussions are now taking place with importers and manufacturers of nuts and nut products to ensure that any contamination of these foodstuffs is kept to the minimum possible.
