What happened

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.

Who it affects

This recall affects Kwok Shing, Inc., distributors of Wisconsin-origin ginseng, and quality/compliance departments responsible for botanical ingredient sourcing and pesticide residue monitoring.

Why it matters

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.

Practical takeaway

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.
