USDA seeks comment on draft pest risk assessment for passion fruit from Vietnam
The USDA is accepting feedback on a draft pest risk assessment for the consumption of fresh passion fruit imported from Vietnam.
The assessment describes potential pests associated with the commodity, according to the USDA.
The agency shares draft pest risk assessments to determine whether stakeholders have information that might lead the USDA to revise the draft assessment before the agency identifies pest mitigations and proceed with the commodity import approval process, the release said.
The draft pest risk assessment for passion fruit for consumption from Vietnam will be available for review and comment until Sept. 9.
To view the assessment or submit comments, visit APHIS’ Stakeholder Risk Assessment Consultation webpage.
