On March 28, 2025, a recall was initiated following the detection of dichlorvos in Lingzhi mushrooms. This incident has been classified under the contaminant hazard category. The detection of this pesticide, which is commonly used as an insecticide, raises concerns regarding food safety and consumer health.
The Lingzhi mushrooms in question originated from China and have been subjected to scrutiny by the Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). The MFDS is responsible for ensuring the safety and quality of food products in the region, and the discovery of dichlorvos necessitated immediate action to protect consumers.
The recall process aims to remove the affected products from the market, ensuring that they do not reach consumers. This incident highlights the importance of rigorous testing and monitoring of food products to prevent contamination and maintain public safety standards.
As investigations continue, further updates regarding the extent of the recall and any additional measures taken by regulatory authorities are anticipated. Consumers are advised to stay informed about the status of the recalled Lingzhi mushrooms and to follow any guidance provided by food safety officials.
