The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a nationwide warning after having discovered residue of untested pesticides in ginseng imported by a New Jersey firm.The FDA says U.S. marshals seized a quantity of ginseng from FCC Products, Inc. of Livingston, N.J., and found residue from the chemicals procymidone and quintozene. And while the agency says the distribution was probably small, it issued the nationwide alert for anyone who may have bought the ginseng from the company because the chemicals haven’t been officially tested for how well they’re tolerated by humans.
