Aflatoxin found again in Serbia's corn

Europe's Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) has recently notified competent agencies in our country that aflatoxin was found again in products made of corn from Serbia. As unofficially reported by the daily Novosti, a small quantity of aflatoxin is found in white corn for human use that was exported from Serbia to Slovenia. People at the Serbian Ministry of Agriculture told the Belgrade daily that no shipment of corn had been returned to date.

According to Vukosav Sakovic, the president of the Wheat Fund of Serbia, someone exported corn to Slovenia where it was used to make certain products which were then exported to other EU countries. And it was these products that contained aflatoxin.

Infected products are allegedly discovered in Italy.
