The USDA has authorized imports of fresh baby kiwifruit from France into the continental U.S.

“We have determined that the application of one or more designated phytosanitary measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks of introducing or disseminating plant pests or noxious weeds via the importation of fresh baby kiwifruit from France,” the USDA said in a Federal Register notice.

The USDA authorized U.S. imports of fresh baby kiwifruit from France starting Sept. 26.
