The California Department Food & Agriculture has recently become aware of a number of reports regarding unsolicited seeds from China being received by homeowners throughout the country, including Placer County.

Residents are not to open any unsolicited seed packets received and contact our Placer County Agriculture/Weights and Measures Department at placerag@placer.ca.gov or 530-889-7372.

Seed packets should not be opened, shipped, or disposed of by residents in order to prevent potential dispersal of invasive species and/or quarantine pests.

Unopened seed packets should be held by the resident or county official until further instructions are provided.

Thank you for your assistance.
