In 2025, the supervision and testing work in the field of food safety continued to deepen, among which the problem of thiamethoxam residues exceeding the standard has once again become the focus of public attention. Data show that in recent food safety sampling inspections, green onions, ginger and other agricultural products in some areas were notified of thiamethoxam residues exceeding the standard. This phenomenon not only reflects the risk control loopholes in agricultural planting, but also highlights the importance of rapid detection technology in food safety.
Thamethoxam, as a new nicotinic insecticide, has the characteristics of high efficiency, low toxicity and broad spectrum, and is widely used in the pest control of vegetables, fruit trees, food and other crops. However, if the dosage is too large during the planting process, the safe interval is not reserved before harvesting, or there is illegal use, it is easy to cause thiamethoxam residues in agricultural products to exceed the standard. Among them, green onions and ginger have become high-risk crops with thiamethoxam residues due to their shallow root system, short growth cycle and strong adsorption capacity for chemical substances in the soil, which is closely related to the planting habits of some farmers who ignore safety regulations in order to quickly control pests.
In addition to green onions and ginger, tea, some leafy vegetables (such as cabbage, lettuce) and some cash crop fruits (such as grapes and strawberries) have also been detected to exceed the standard of thiamethoxam. This situation shows that the application of thiamethoxam in agricultural production has formed a wide range of risk chains, and it is urgent to establish a whole-process control system through systematic detection methods.
In the process of responding to food residue risks, fast and accurate detection technology is the key support. Wuhan Yupinyan Bio focuses on the research and development and production of food safety rapid detection reagents. Its products such as thiamethoxam rapid detection test strips and colloidal gold detection kits have become a practical tool for food companies, farmers markets, and regulatory authorities to screen for excessive risks due to their advantages such as easy operation (no need for professional laboratory equipment), short detection cycle (results within 10-30 minutes), and high sensitivity (can detect 0.01mg/kg residues). Through these detection reagents, high-risk batches of food can be locked in a short time, and unsafe food can be blocked from entering the market from the source.
In the face of the increasingly complex food safety situation, the establishment of a closed-loop management system of "prevention-detection-disposal" is the core of ensuring public dietary safety. Wuhan Yupinyan Bio has always adhered to technological innovation as the driving force, and is committed to helping the food industry build a safety line through reliable detection reagent products, so that consumers can get peace of mind in every purchase and consumption.
