Aflatoxin M2 is a major metabolite of Aflatoxin B1, which is a naturally occuring mycotoxin produced by the fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. Aflatoxins are poisonous carcinogens and mutagens that are produced by certain molds (Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus) which grow in soil, decaying vegetation, hay, and grains. They are regularly found in improperly stored staple commodities such as cassava, chili peppers, cottonseed, millet, peanuts, rice, sesame seeds, sorghum, sunflower seeds, sweetcorn, tree nuts, wheat, and a variety of spices. When contaminated food is processed, aflatoxins enter the general food supply where they have been found in both pet and human foods, as well as in feedstocks for agricultural animals. Animals fed contaminated food can pass aflatoxin transformation products into eggs, milk products, and meat. For example, contaminated poultry feed is suspected in the findings of high percentages of samples of aflatoxin-contaminated chicken meat and eggs in Pakistan. The level of toxicity associated with Aflatoxin is Aflatoxin B1>Aflatoxin M1>Aflatoxin G1>Aflatoxin B2>Aflatoxin M2>Aflatoxin G2.
