Mold has been detected in various types of sunflower seeds, prompting concerns regarding the safety of aquatic animals and seafood. This incident was reported on May 30, 2025, and has been categorized under control by relevant authorities.

The source of the issue is traced back to China, where the presence of bio-contaminants in sunflower seeds has raised alarms. The detection of mold in these seeds can pose risks not only to the seeds themselves but also to the aquatic animals and seafood that may be affected by contaminated feeds or environments.

The State Administration for Market Regulation has issued alerts regarding this contamination, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and controlling the spread of such bio-contaminants. As this situation develops, further investigations and assessments are expected to determine the full extent of the impact on food safety and public health.

This incident highlights the critical need for stringent quality control measures in agricultural and food production practices to ensure the safety of products intended for consumption.
