2018年9月18日，澳大利亞農(nóng)業(yè)水利資源部（DAWR）發(fā)布出口行業(yè)建議通知--從澳大利亞出口新鮮草莓的臨時控制措施。從2018年9月19日星期三澳大利亞東部標準時間上午9點起，澳大利亞農(nóng)業(yè)水利資源部將強制對新鮮草莓中的金屬污染物進行檢測，以降低金屬污染物進入出口供應鏈的風險。新的臨時措施適用于所有出口市場的新鮮草莓，包括不需要植物檢疫證書的產(chǎn)品。出口商有責任向該部門提供證據(jù)，證明貨物不含金屬污染物。
部分原文報道如下：
The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources is implementing interim control measures for the export of fresh strawberries from Australia, in response to reported detections of metal contaminants in the fruit.
From 9am AEST on Wednesday, 19 September 2018, a nil tolerance of metal contaminants in fresh strawberries will be enforced by the department to mitigate the risk of metal contaminants entering the export supply chain.
The new interim measure applies to fresh strawberries for all export markets, including markets that do not require a phytosanitary certificate.
All requests for export permits （RFPs） that include fresh strawberries now require authorisation by the department through EXDOC.
Exporters are responsible for providing evidence to the department, that consignments are free from metal contaminants.
Interim control measures can include evidence of metal screening （metal detectors） at end-point or on-farm metal screening wher product security has been maintained post screening.
Visual inspection alone is not an acceptable measure.
Records are required to be kept by the exporter for auditing purposes for 2 years.
The Manual of importing Country Requirements （MICoR） cases will be updated to reflect these changes. There is no change to existing importing country requirements.
The department's role is to facilitate safe trade of agricultural commodities.
The associated food safety incidents in Australia are being managed by state and territory law enforcement and health authorities.
