The Missouri Department of Agriculture has received reports from residents of unsolicited seeds being delivered from foreign countries such as China and surrounding areas. It is important to take steps to prevent the introduction of invasive species into Missouri to ensure safety of the environment, livestock and plants.
Do not open the seed package. Do not plant the seeds if you have opened the package. Submit an online report to USDA verifying you have received unsolicited seeds. Do not dispose of the seeds, packages or envelopes until USDA provides further guidance. If opened, place seeds in a sealed bag and call (573) 751-2462 or by email at [email protected].
