Peanuts contain oil. After one year, the oil can oxidize, causing it to lose its flavor and nutrients (sometimes forming toxic byproducts when it reacts with air).

Referring to following statement, if peanuts (open packing) stores in refrigerator, would Aflatoxin get no chance to grow at all? even through peanut keeps over 10 years, correct?
"Aflatoxin-producing molds grow exponentially in conventional multi-month storage as a result of a combination of heat and high humidity (Hell et al., 2010)."
"When temperatures are below 65°F and the moisture of the corn is below 12–13%, development of the fungus usually stops."

There's no guarantee that the microorganism responsible for producing aflatoxin is found on the peanuts to begin with. Molds are capable of growing even while refrigerated (think of mold on bread)

"Aflatoxin" is a risk on peanut, Is there any approach to avoid "aflatoxin"?
Do you have any suggestions?

I would suggest not to each them out of the shell, that's all you can do to reduce possible exposure to it.
