Abstract
Aflatoxin research in the Philippines started at the FNRI in 1967 with a survey on the aflatoxin content of various foods. Local researchers from government institutions and academe also conducted studies on the aflatoxin contamination of agricultural crops and their products/by‐products. The data indicated that corn and peanuts are the two commodities that contain toxic levels of aflatoxin. Past and current research in the country is documented. Problems and research needs for the surveillance and/or control of aflatoxin contamination are discussed.Keywords
