U.S. warns against planting unsolicited packages of seeds that appear to be arriving from China by tpolansek

Packages of unidentified seeds which appear to have been mailed from China to U.S. postal addresses are seen at the Washington State Department of Agriculture in Olympia, Washington July 24, 2020.

The USDA said on Tuesday it was collecting the seeds and would test them to determine if they were a concern to agriculture or the environment. The agency is working with states and the Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection to investigate the packages, according to a statement.

The packages “appear to be coming from China,” according to the USDA. On Monday, the agency said it was “aware that people across the country have received unsolicited packages of seed from China.” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on Tuesday China’s postal service strictly abides by restrictions on sending seeds.
