Title: Phytosanitary Treatment by Irradiation of Imported Fresh Fruits and Vegetables | |
Abstract: This rulemaking would establish irradiation as a new treatment alternative for the importation of certain fresh fruits and vegetables. Irradiation would be allowed as an alternative to mitigation measures that are required to control certain species of fruit flies in a variety of imported fruits and vegetables. If this proposal is adopted, importers of certain fruits and vegetables will have an additional alternative to the currently approved treatments, such as fumigation and cold treatment, for treating their articles. No net societal gains and losses other than small price-related changes are expected from this rulemaking. | |
