Aflatoxin?
DefinitionAflatoxins are toxins produced by a mold that grows in nuts, seeds, and legumes.FunctionAlthough aflatoxins are known to cause cancer in animals, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows them at low levels in nuts, seeds, and legumes because they are considered "unavoidable contaminants."The FDA believes occasionally eating small amounts of aflatoxin poses little risk over a lifetime. It is not practical to attempt to remove aflatoxin from food products in order to make them safer.Food SourcesThe mold that produces aflatoxin may be found in the following foods:Peanuts and peanut butterTree nuts such as pecansCornWheatOil seeds such as cottonseedRecommendationsTo help minimize risk, the FDA tests foods that may contain aflatoxin. Peanuts and peanut butter are some of the most rigorously tested products by FDA because they frequently contain aflatoxins and are widely consumed.You can reduce aflatoxin intake by:Buying only major brands of nuts and nut buttersDiscarding any nuts that look moldy, discolored or shriveled

What ingredient is in wine bread and peanut butter?
Technically, peanut butter should only have peanuts in it. However, some peanut butter makers add salt and extra oil. Stuff like Skippy and Jiff are NOT peanut butter. They are technically peanut spread. There is a certain minimum percentage of peanuts that must make up the ingredients of peanut butter for the FDA to let you call it peanut butter.That being said, salt is the answer.
