Why EU Aflatoxin Standards Matter
Aflatoxins are naturally occurring toxins produced by certain molds that can grow on crops such as peanuts, tree nuts, and grains. The European Union enforces some of the world’s most stringent aflatoxin limits for food imports.
For B2B buyers – importers, food manufacturers, and brand owners – selling to the EU market requires documented proof that every shipment meets these standards. Failure to comply can result in:
Shipment detention at port
Costly returns or destruction
Damage to brand reputation
By proactively testing and certifying our products, we remove a major compliance burden from our customers’ shoulders.
Our Testing Results
Independent third-party laboratory testing confirmed:
| Parameter | Result | EU Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Aflatoxin B1 | < 2 μg/kg | ≤ 2.0 μg/kg |
| Total Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2) | < 4 μg/kg | ≤ 4.0 μg/kg |
All samples tested well within the permitted levels.
These results apply to our full range of products, including:
Creamy & Crunchy Peanut Butter
Pure Peanut Butter (100% peanuts)
Nut Butters (Cashew, Almond, Hazelnut, Walnut, Mixed)
Roasted Peanuts (Salted, Spicy, Unsalted)
Sesame Butter & Honey Black Sesame Butter
