Aflatoxin in food is a 44-year-old problem in Ghana. Aflatoxin is furtive \u2013 a hidden and silent killer. Aflasafe GH02 reduces aflatoxin by up to 100%.
ACCRA, GHANA, 29TH JUNE 2018 \u2013 With the official launch of Aflasafe GH02 in Accra today, Ghana joins the growing list of countries in Africa actively combating aflatoxin in food. Aflasafe GH02 is a product of, from, and for Ghana. An environmentally friendly all-natural solution to the scourge of aflatoxin, Aflasafe GH02 is formulated from four friendly fungi, all from Ghana.
Aflatoxin takes a heavy but hidden toll in Ghana, as elsewhere in Africa where people primarily eat \u2013 and depend upon \u2013 maize and groundnuts. These two crops, staples on many tables, are also the most vulnerable to aflatoxin contamination. The crunch is that aflatoxin is difficult to detect even when at lethal levels. Measured in parts per billion (ppb), this naturally occurring poison is tasteless, odourless and invisible to the naked eye: one ppb is akin to a single drop of water in an Olympic-size swimming pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
