[Webinar] What can 25 years of coordinated action teach us about the future of peanut food safety?

Aflatoxin contamination has long presented a significant challenge for the Brazilian peanut industry. In response, the sector launched the Pró-Amendoim Program, bringing together industry stakeholders, researchers and food safety professionals.

Twenty-five years later, the programme offers a valuable opportunity to examine how Brazil’s approach to aflatoxin management has evolved and what questions the peanut industry must address next.
