APEDA Warns Exporters Of High Aflatoxin Levels In Products.
Jun 23, 2023

The Agriculture and Processed Food Products' Export Development Authority (APEDA) has expressed its concern to exporters regarding the elevated levels of aflatoxin found in groundnuts, peanuts and processed peanut products being exported. 
 
APEDA sent a letter notifying exporters that significant amounts of aflatoxin were detected in export consignments to countries such as Singapore, Russia, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and EU nations.
 
The letter also served as a warning to exporters, urging them to comply with the guidelines set forth by the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). 
 
Failure to adhere to these regulations would result in severe actions, including the potential termination of approval for groundnut and peanut processing units, as well as other penalties as dictated by government regulations, stated APEDA.
 
APEDA received alerts and trade complaints concerning the high levels of aflatoxin present in exported groundnut, peanut, and processed peanut products. These findings appear to violate the established standards set by the DGFT and APEDA.
