CHINA'S top quality watchdog yesterday ordered intensified checks on fruit imports from the Philippines after harmful organisms were found in several shipments.
Insects or bacteria had been found in pineapples, bananas and other fruits imported from the Philippines since last year in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou ports, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said.
Some of the insects, which are not found in China, could destroy fruit trees and ornamental plants, while the bacteria could attack banana trees in China. Spiders, ants and aphids have also been found in fruits from the Philippines.
The Chinese administration urged local quarantine authorities to increase examinations and monitoring on fruits imported from the Philippines.
More products from the country will be inspected. If harmful organisms are found, the goods will be returned or destroyed.
