The CFIA is investigating and the OPP has issued a warning about planting unsolicited packages of seeds arriving from China or Taiwan.
They say unsolicited seeds could be invasive & threaten our environment.
Police say if you receive the seeds, please call the Canadian Food Inspection Agency at 519 691-1306 or 1 800 442-2342.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture also recently warned residents this week against planting unsolicited packages of seeds arriving from China.
If you receive an unsolicited shipment of foreign seeds in the mail from China or Taiwan DO NOT plant or dispose of them. Call the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) at 519 691-1306 or 1 800 442-2342. Unsolicited seeds could be invasive & threaten our environment. ^kj pic.twitter.com/n5hvlFS1W8
