Age	Weight (kg)	References (weight)	EDI	MOE	Pav	Population Risk
Infants (6−52mths)	7	Glover-Amengor et al [39]	0.38	1052.63	0.00396	1.51 × 10−3

EDI – Estimated Daily Intake - (μg/Kg.bw/day).

MOE- Margin of Exposure.

Pav – Average Potency (ng Aflatoxins kg⁻¹bwday⁻¹).

*Mean aflatoxins- 60.62 μg/kg.

*Daily intake of groundnuts for infants was halved (0.5 × 0.087).
