NOW Foods ginseng recall

NOW Foods has voluntarily recalled all lots of American Ginseng and placed "all American Ginseng product at its facility on hold" following FDA test results showing presence of quintozene and other fungicides in one lot of the product, firm announces Nov. 16. NOW also has "extended testing to all ginseng products beyond the one lot identified by FDA." The Bloomingale, Ill.-based firm says it responded to an Oct. 21 warning letter by detailing steps already taken to address the problem, including a "more extensive" product recall than the agency requested, and "increasing NOW's already impressive testing program to match the FDA's more sensitive testing procedures"...
