Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring by-product from the growth of Aspergillus flavus, a fungus, but it can harmful to animals if consumed in large amounts, according to the U.S Food and Drug Association.

Some of the brands affected include Triumph Wild Spirit, Evolve, Wild Harvest, Nurture Farms, Elm Pet Foods and Heart to Tail Pure Being.
