Peanuts are most likely to be contaminated by Aspergillus mold, which can produce a cancer-causing toxin called aflatoxin. Aflatoxin can also contaminate corn, tree nuts, and some spices. Fresh dairy products and high-acid canned foods are less likely to be contaminated by Aspergillus mold. Aged cheeses may be contaminated by other types of molds, but not necessarily Aspergillus.
