“We are currently working with USDA’s Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to address reports
of unsolicited shipments of seeds from foreign countries.
Anyone who receives unordered seeds in the mail
should contact the Illinois Department of Agriculture by
emailing the following information to
agr.seeds@Illinois.gov:
First and Last Name, Phone Number and the number of packages
received.
Do not open the package, plant the seeds, or
throw them out.
Please keep all seeds unopened and with their
original packaging and labels, including mailing labels, until
further instruction is provided.”
