Comments
Our peanut butter sample contained a concentration of 0 ppb of Aflatoxin, which was as estimated. This is also within the set regulations by the FDA set maximum amount of Aflatoxin at 20 ppb in food. Our sample proved to be under the maximum, therefore, safe for consumption. However, it should always be kept in mind that one sample can vary from other samples, but since our sample contained 0 ppb Aflatoxin it is deemed safe for consumption.
