US CUSTOMS agriculture specialists in Cincinnati have intercepted more than 4,850 pounds of prohibited mangoes, strawberry guava, and grugru fruit coming from Mexico since Januury.
The fresh fruit came in 97 separate packages from a single shipper in Morelos and were destined to multiple locations throughout the United States.
The shipments were manifested as crafts, decorations, dried fruits and flours, reported the American Journal of Transportation.
"Our agriculture specialists work to protect our US crops and food supply each and every day," said US Customs agriculture specialist Barbara Hassan.
Fresh produce is regulated to prevent the accidental introduction of foreign diseases and pests such as the mango seed weevil, guava weevils, and fruit flies.
Fruit flies target more than 400 host plants, and their presence in the US would cause major economic losses, costs associated with implementing control measures, and extensive damage to many American agricultural crops.
