Description:	Brazil-nut is an important product for the Amazon economy, having as the main constraint for marketing, high levels of aflatoxin contamination, a toxic metabolite of potential carcinogenic effects produced by filamentous fungi. This work aimed to determine the occurrence of filamentous fungi and aflatoxin contamination during the post-harvest of brazil-nuts, as a mean to identify critical control points in the steps that precede processing.
