To mitigate this risk, regulatory agencies impose strict limits on the allowable levels of aflatoxins in peanuts and peanut products. Reputable manufacturers routinely test their products to ensure compliance with these regulations.

If you have a severe peanut allergy, it is crucial to avoid peanut butter and any products containing peanuts altogether. Additionally, practicing good hygiene and proper food handling can reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses.
