U.S. halts inspections of avocados, mangos from Michoacán in Mexico

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is temporarily halting inspections of certain fruits from a high-producing Mexican province over safety concerns.

The USDA confirmed the news to Fox Business on Tuesday. The pause affects avocado and mango exports from the Mexican state of Michoacán.

The USDA disclosed that the decision was made due to “security concerns” for Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) workers. The agency is working on reviewing the security situation before the inspections begin again.

According to the USDA, Mexican exports are not blocked and the temporary pause in inspections will not affect mango and avocados in transit.
