Imported Fruit and Cakes Siezed at Border Over Safety Violations
Posted on 2025-09-16 18:51:14
The Food and Drug Administration has seized shipments of Japanese muskmelons
and Philippine cakes after tests found excessive pesticide and preservative
levels.

A 240-kilogram batch of muskmelons from Hokkaido contained a regulated
insecticide above the legal limit and was returned or destroyed.

Future shipments from the same importer will undergo 100 percent border
inspection.

Meanwhile, 538 kilograms of butterscotch cakes from the Philippines exceeded
limits of the preservative sorbic acid.

In response, the importer's future shipments will now face enhanced random
checks at a rate of up to 50 percent.

Other noncompliant imports flagged in the TFDA's latest report include
mandarins from Australia, radishes from China, broccoli from South Korea, and
frozen sea urchin roe from Chile.

All non-compliant produce has either been returned or destroyed.
