🌱USDA Authorizes Importation of Fresh Wasabi Rhizomes from Indonesia
Notice of Decision To Authorize the Importation of Fresh Rhizomes of Wasabi From Indonesia Into the United States
Summary
We are advising the public of our decision to authorize the importation of fresh rhizomes of wasabi, Eutrema japonicum (Miq.) Koidz. (Brassicaceae), into the United States for consumption from Indonesia. Based on the findings of a pest risk analysis, which we made available to the public for review and comment through a previous notice, we have determined that the application of one or more designated phytosanitary measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks of introducing or disseminating plant pests or noxious weeds via the importation of fresh rhizomes of wasabi from Indonesia.
