Food Safety Alert: Contamination of Wolfberry Products
On August 18, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported concerning the detection of thiophanate-related pesticides in wolfberry and its variations. This contamination poses a serious health risk, as the presence of such contaminants in food products can lead to adverse health effects for consumers.
Wolfberry, also known as goji berry, is a popular superfood known for its nutritional benefits, including high levels of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It is commonly used in various culinary applications, from smoothies to herbal teas. However, the recent findings highlight the importance of rigorous testing and monitoring of agricultural products to ensure they are free from harmful pesticide residues.
