USDA certified organic (synthetic pesticides prohibited), held one band below the organic produce baseline because aflatoxin — a mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus during growth and storage — is a peanut-specific hazard that organic certification does not address. FDA sets an action level of 20 ppb total aflatoxins for food.
