The Association of Official Agricultural Chemists has awarded Performance Tested Method approval for the Neogen NeoColumn™ for Aflatoxin DR. Approval was contingent on independent evaluation of the Aflatoxin level in corn and peanuts with direct-read fluorometry and HPLC as reference techniques.
The NeoColumn for Aflatoxin allows extraction from a ground sample. The method uses positive pressure to create flow through the column with determination of Aflatoxin by antibody. Toxin which is present is eluted using ethanol and is then assayed using direct-read fluorometry or HPLC.
The Neogen Corp. produces a range of mycotoxin test kits including DON, Ochratoxin, T-2, fumonisin, and zearalenone.

A toxin that impacts the liver, aflatoxin, has been found in some pet food. In response, Kroger is recalling their food. I found this here: Kroger recalls pet food for aflatoxin risk 19 states are included in Kroger's pet food recall. If eaten, the recalled animal food could trigger liver damage. This effect is rare, however possible.
