More toxins found in some spices

I noticed a little storey in the Metro about more problems with naturally occurring toxins in chilli powder & cayenne pepper. It seems some spices have been taken off the shelves.

I've tracked down the food standards link if anyone is concerned:

Is it the season for the Dead Donkey stories? Can't imagine anyone eating spices in the quantities that would make them dangerous with aflatoxin. 5 micro gramms per kg - a kg is one hell of a lot of spice!
