An organic substance that produces poisoning: A sitotoxin can be any poison developed in food, especially one produced by bacteria growing in a cereal or grain product.

Sitotoxins cause the poisoning of vegetable foods and infest them with molds or bacteria.S

This word refers to "aflatoxin", a toxin produced by some strains of Aspergillus flavus that causes cancer in laboratory animals. It may be present in peanuts and other seeds contaminated with Aspergillus molds. Farm animals and humans are susceptible to this toxicosis.

It is not practical to try to remove aflatoxin from contaminated foods in order to make them edible. In other words, throw moldy food away! It is very dangerous to attempt to clean mold off food and then eat it!
