Yellow suspension area restrictions
Rules are in place to limit the movement of restricted fruit and vegetables in yellow outbreak areas.
If you live, work, go to school, or are travelling through a fruit fly affected area, check the outbreak map to see if you're in a red, yellow, or green zone and follow any restrictions.

Moving home-grown produce
You can move home-grown restricted fruit and vegetables within the yellow suspension area that you are in. There are different rules for other areas.
Green areas
If you are in a yellow suspension area, you cannot move, share, or sell home-grown restricted fruit and vegetables into a green area.
However, produce can be canned, cooked, dried, frozen, grated, or pureed to remove the risk. This is the only way you can move it from your property in a yellow suspension area into a green area.
Red areas
If you are in a yellow suspension area, you can move home-grown restricted fruit and vegetables into a red outbreak area. However, you cannot bring the produce back into the yellow area – you must eat or dispose of it in the red area.
Buying produce
Shops (permanent retail businesses)
If you purchase restricted fruit and vegetables at a shop in a yellow suspension area, you can move them across fruit fly affected areas (including green areas), only if you:
- retain the itemised receipt
- seal fruit and vegetables in a bag or container while moving them.
Roadside sellers, markets and stalls
If you purchase restricted fruit and vegetables from roadside sellers, markets, and stalls in a yellow suspension area, you cannot move them into a green area – even with a receipt.
Riverland Pest Free Area (PFA)
There are permanent restrictions on bringing host produce into the Riverland PFA from any other part of SA.
