Abstract
The cancer risk attributed to aflatoxin in peanut butter and vegetable oils for Sudanese population have been estimated. To quantify, we considered: (i) the literature studied the presence of aflatoxin in these commodities, (ii) the provisional tolerable daily intake and (iii) the seroprevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV). The annual hepatocellular carcinoma cases were found to be from 155.82 to 181.76; 61% out of these cases with HBV infection and 78% exposed to aflatoxin in peanut. The production of these food commodities need to be improved and a strategy for intervention of HBV need to be applied.
