Aflatoxins (AFs) contamination in food and agricultural products poses a significant threat to human health. Sensitive and accurate detection of AFs provides a strong guarantee for ensuring food safety. Conventional chromatographic-based or mass spectrum methods, which rely on bulky instrument and skilled personnel, are not suitable for on-site surveillance. By contrast, visual detections which possess the merits of rapidity and sophisticated instrument-free present an excellent potential for the on-site detection of AFs. This review intends to summarize the latest development of visual methods for AFs detection, including paper-based tests, chromogenic reactions, and luminescent methods. Emerging technologies, like nanotechnology, DNAzymes, and aptamers combined with these visual methods are introduced. The basic principles, features, and application advantages of each type of visual methods are discussed. The biggest challenges and perspectives on their future trends are also addressed.
