Answer:
Coffee beans, like many other agricultural crops and foods (oats, corn, peanuts, rice, wheat, cocoa, grapes etc.) are susceptible to contamination with mold. While some molds are harmless, others can produce substances called mycotoxins, such as ochratoxin A (OTA) and aflatoxin B1, which can be harmful.
