Fruit fly discovery extends crop movement restrictions in South Auckland until mid-February.

Legal controls on fruit and vegetable movement in Papatoetoe, South Auckland, will stay in place until mid-February due to the discovery of a single male Oriental fruit fly. These restrictions aim to prevent any potential economic harm to New Zealand's horticulture industry, though the fruit fly poses no risk to human health. No further fruit flies have been detected in surveillance traps.
