Acceptable packaging for fresh chilled durian segments

Effective from 13 June 2019

Who does this alert affect?
Importers and Inspection Services Group.

Background
There have been instances of fresh chilled durian segments arriving in non-compliant packaging.
It is important that importers are aware of the conditions for fresh chilled durian packaging:

  1. The segments must be packed in clean, transparent or clear plastic trays/boxes.

  2. Any labels, stickers or printing attached to individual packages must not impede a clear view of the fruit segments (from the top, bottom or side views).

  3. Any wrapping around fruit segments must be transparent. Baking paper or similar which obscures a view of the flesh is not permitted

  4. Trays, punnets or wrapping that do not allow a clear view of the product inside (from all sides) will not be permitted and will be held.

These conditions ensure that a visual inspection can be undertaken without opening the package.
