Aflatoxins are a serious food safety concern for human and animal health. Much attention should be paid to the dietary exposure to this toxins in order to minimize the risk of aflatoxin contamination in the food chain. Although the research on aflatoxins was started more than 50 years ago, aflatoxins contamination has not been completely eliminated due to numerous factors including biological, genetic, biochemical, environmental, and economical reasons. Safe food of high quality for the consumers is the ultimate goal. Among the reported strategies to manage aflatoxin contamination into food and feed, the biological control seems to be the most promising approach, depending on their biological origin, and on the use of living organisms or their derivatives. The use of new materials like enzymes, peptides, essential oils or antagonistic microorganisms of aflatoxigenic fungi, appear as very effective tools against aflatoxin contaminations, and more importantly, they are safe for human and animal health, and friendly to the ecosystems and the environment.
