The Importance of Laboratory Tested Apricot Kernels

 

Why should you purchase Our Apricot Kernels?

Apricot Kernels are very susceptible to moulds if not immediately dried to reduce the moisture levels that will inhibit mould growth.

One very dangerous mould that apricot kernels are susceptible to is aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is a fungus, a mycotoxin that is very toxic and carcinogenic to humans. It is known that chronic exposure will lead to a high chance of developing liver cancer.  (ref: wikipedia)

So toxic is aflatoxin that in 1989 it is reputed that Saddam Hussein himself ordered his government to produce aflatoxin as a biological weapon!        (ref: wikipedia)

Aflatoxin analysis is performed by Agrifood technologies on random sample from no less than 10 separate bags for all shipments. We are proud to say that no Aflatoxin has ever been recorded in any of our shipments since testing began.

So you can feel assured that when you buy our apricot kernels you are using the best natural product available.
