As far as I've ever been told through internet research, etc, the toxic mold aflatoxin can grown in corn and peanuts. So while peanut butter may not seem obviously moldy to the eyes, it can contain this aflatoxin, the same way corn products do. That is probably the strongest reason why both are highly allergenic foods.

These molds may be found in peanuts and as a result the presence of these are monitored carefully before peanuts are incorporated into foods such as peanut butter.Peanut butter, once opened, can go moldy. This is in addition to it going rancid which caused by other oxidation and biological problems.
