Tasmania lifts ban on fruit from Melbourne fumigation facility

Tasmania's Biosecurity Department has lifted a ban on fruit and vegetable imports from a Melbourne plant, that was linked to a fruit fly outbreak. The ban on fresh produce imports from the Melbourne fumigation facility -linked to a fruit fly outbreak- was implemented earlier this year. Fruit and vegetables that passed through the plant were pulled from supermarket shelves across Tasmania in February after fly larvae were found in a nectarine.

According to news.com.au, Biosecurity Tasmania boss Lloyd Klumpp said on Wednesday that the facility had passed an audit and imports into the state could resume.
