The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture is urging Americans not to open unsolicited and unlabeled seeds that appear to be from China.
Barb Glenn is the CEO of NASDA.
“If you receive a package like this just don’t open it, keep all the packages, keep the mailing information, and contact your state department of agriculture or contact your APHIS state director,” she says. “They’ll give you advice on how they would like to collect that package and analyze it.”
USDA has indicated it could be a brush scam to obtain fake reviews for products, but Glenn says the seeds should still be taken seriously.
