Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Contamination permitted in maize is 1%.Aflatoxin contamination of maize exhibits a serious threat to human and animal health over the past few decades.
Heat and drought stress can cause seed coat fractures and increase the opportunity for infection to occur. Aflatoxin can develop within 24 hours in mold- and fungi-infected corn stored under these conditions.
To protect the safety of food commodities, regular monitoring for aflatoxins in food is necessary.
