Abstract
The occurrence of aflatoxins in some common food commodities: wheat, gram and maize flours is reported. Of the total 416 collections during three years (1987–1989) 162 were recorded to be aflatoxin‐positive. The incidence of aflatoxins was maximum in the samples of 1987. Most of the contaminated samples contained aflatoxins at levels above 20 μg/kg. The environmental conditions and traditional agronomic and storage practices relating to aflatoxin incidence are discussed.
