Kwok Shing, Inc. — Class III: American Ginsengs. PRODUCT OF WISCONSIN. NET WT: 4 oz. NET WT. 8 oz.
Kwok Shing, Inc. has initiated a Class III recall for American Ginseng products (4 oz and 8 oz) due to potential contamination with pesticides. The recall is currently classified as ongoing.
This recall affects Kwok Shing, Inc., distributors of Wisconsin-origin ginseng, and quality/compliance departments responsible for botanical ingredient sourcing and pesticide residue monitoring.
A Class III designation suggests that while the product violates FDA labeling or manufacturing standards, the health risk is unlikely to be adverse. However, the presence of pesticide residues in botanical products indicates a potential failure in raw material qualification or supplier oversight. Regulatory teams may need to assess if this reflects an isolated incident or a broader supply chain vulnerability regarding pesticide screening for domestically sourced ginseng.
Quality teams should verify pesticide testing protocols for botanical raw materials and review supplier certifications for Wisconsin-sourced ginseng to ensure compliance with residue limits. Inventory should be reconciled against the 4 oz and 8 oz product sizes identified in the recall.
Class III. Reason: Potential contamination with pesticides.. Product: American Ginsengs. PRODUCT OF WISCONSIN. NET WT: 4 oz. NET WT. 8 oz.. Firm: Kwok Shing, Inc. (San Francisco CA United States). Status: Ongoing.
