All shipments of corn intended for use in livestock feed imported from India are being detained by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

The corn is being tested for aflatoxin, as high levels have been detected in organic feed corn originating from India.

Importers must sample corn immediately after arrival in Canada because mould can grow and produce aflatoxins during shipping.

The shipments will only be released once a Certificate of Analysis demonstrates that the shipment meets the acceptable aflatoxin levels.
