Reason for Recall:
The product is being recalled due to elevated aflotoxin levels."

Aflatoxin is found in corn, peanuts, cottonseeds, milk & tree nuts. After absorbtion they are carried to the liver via the circulatory system. Where they are converted to toxins where they bind to covalently to intracellular macromolecules such as DNA, RNA & protein enzymes, resulting in damage to liver cells.
