APHIS has drafted a pest risk assessment for the importation of fresh pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) for consumption from Taiwan into the United States and Territories. The assessment describes potential pests associated with the commodity.
APHIS shares 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 the commodity import approval process.
The draft pest risk assessment for fresh pineapple will be available for review and comment until November 23, 2022. To view the assessment or submit comments, go to https://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant-health/risk-assessment-consultation
