Quarantine Pest List for the Importation of Fresh Fruit of Sapodilla (Manilkara zapota van Royen), into the Continental United States from Mexico

The government of Mexico has asked USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to authorize the importation of sapodilla for consumption into the continental United States. APHIS has drafted a pest risk assessment that lists potential pests likely to remain on the commodity upon importation, if no mitigations are applied. APHIS shares its draft pest risk assessments to determine whether stakeholders have information that might lead us to revise the draft assessment before we identify pest mitigations and proceed with official rulemaking.
The draft pest risk assessment for sapodilla for consumption from Mexico will be available for review and comment for 30 days. To view the assessment or submit comments, go to http://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant-health/risk-assessment-consultation
