Preparing restricted fruit and vegetables

All fruit and vegetables, including those restricted, can be prepared in certain ways so they can move between areas without spreading fruit fly:

• canned
• cooked
• dried
• frozen
• grated
• pureed.

Movement restrictions still apply to sliced or mashed fruit as this will not reduce the risk of spreading fruit fly.
