Aflatoxin contamination Food safetyHigh Peanuts can carry aflatoxins produced by moulds, which may persist in the oil if not adequately removed during refining. | Source from suppliers with robust aflatoxin monitoring and ensure refining includes effective decontamination steps. |
Residual peanut allergen Food safetyHigh Insufficiently refined oil may contain protein residues that can trigger severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. | Verify the refining process includes steps proven to remove proteins and request allergen testing certificates. |
Oxidation during transport LogisticsMedium Exposure to heat, light or oxygen during shipping can accelerate rancidity, shortening the oil's usable life. | Use insulated or temperature-controlled containers, protect from sunlight and ensure sealed, oxygen-free packaging. |
