On August 18, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of propargite, a pesticide, in wolfberry and its variations. This contamination poses potential health risks to consumers, as propargite is classified as a contaminant that can affect food safety.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning regarding the consumption of these contaminated wolfberry products.
