On May 30, 2025, the State Administration for Market Regulation reported an incident involving assorted ceramic and wooden bowls containing amber walnut kernels. The issue was identified due to the detection of elevated peroxide value and peroxidation levels in the walnut kernels, categorizing the incident under contaminants.

The source of the products is traced back to China, where the affected items were manufactured. The peroxide value is a measure of the extent to which an edible oil or fat has undergone primary oxidation, which can affect the quality and safety of the product. The elevated levels detected indicate potential degradation of the walnut kernels, which may pose health risks to consumers.

As a result of this finding, appropriate measures are expected to be implemented to address the contamination issue. Consumers are advised to stay informed about the developments related to this incident. Regulatory authorities are likely to conduct further investigations to ensure the safety and quality of food products available in the market.
