Weiwei black sesame paste reported mold up to 27x over limit; recall accounts differ

According to media aggregation reports, Weiwei, described as a long-established national brand, has been linked to a food safety issue involving a batch of black sesame paste. Multiple media reports said the batch was found with mold exceeding the standard, with some reports citing a value of up to 27 times the national limit; as of publication, no regulator notice or named testing report has confirmed the figure. The file does not show the batch number, the testing institution or the specific measured values.

Accounts of the handling differ. Some reports say “the batch has been fully recalled,” others cite the Weiwei official flagship store as saying it was “recalled and fully handled,” and one report says Weiwei responded that it had been “recalled but the cause remains unclear.” All of these come from media aggregation sources; no regulator notice confirming them appears in the file.

Black sesame paste is an instant-mixed food. If the reported mold level is accurate, it could affect product quality and food safety, but the specific health risk depends on the mold species, contamination level and the people consuming it. The file provides no such data, so the finding should not be over-interpreted.

On responsibility, the file mentions both “Weiwei” and the “Weiwei official flagship store,” and the relationship between them and the authority behind their statements is unclear. The file also does not record whether the company issued a formal statement or disclosed the recall scope and batch number.

Overall, the evidence level for this event is low, with sources concentrated in media aggregation and no regulator sampling notice or formal company announcement. Consumers are advised to follow authoritative channels and, if they bought an affected batch, to watch for the company’s published recall and return channels.
