Fruit fly produce recalled

Adelaide: The discovery of fruit fly larvae in produce transported into South Australia from Victoria has prompted the withdrawal of some fruit from shops.

The detection also comes as South Australia continues to battle serious fruit fly outbreaks across Adelaide and at Renmark in Riverland.

Department of Primary Industries and Regions executive director of biosecurity Nathan Rhodes said larvae had been reported in stone fruit purchased from a variety of retail outlets including supermarkets and a farmer’s market; the department was investigating.
