Consumers' Foundation Urges Calm Over Heavy Metals in Goji Berries
Posted on 2025-09-16 18:51:14
The Consumers' Foundation is urging the public not to panic over recent tests
that found heavy metals in dried goji berries.

The group says heavy metals like cadmium, lead, arsenic, and mercury are
naturally present in soil and water, making zero detection in Chinese
medicinal herbs or crops nearly impossible.

It stresses the key issue is whether levels exceed legal safety standards.

The Foundation explains that plants absorb trace elements from their
environment, meaning a background level of heavy metals is natural and not
necessarily harmful.

International bodies—such as the W-H-O—have set maximum allowable limits,
and as long as products test below these thresholds, health risks remain very
low.

The statement comes after Consumer Protection Association Taiwan recently
reported heavy metal residues in goji berries from 30 different suppliers.
