The natural occurrence of aflatoxins and cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) contamination in peanuts grown in Argentina was investigated. Co-occurrence of CPA and aflatoxins was detected in 2/50 samples analysed. The levels of these toxins found in positive samples were 4300 and 493 mg/kg for CPA, 625 and 435 mg/kg for AFG1 . levels of samples wee similar to these registered in other subtracts. This is the first report of natural co-occurrence of CPA and aflatoxiins in Argentina.
