The presence of moving white larvae in the fruit shall be evidence of live fruit fly infestation.
7.5.3 Identification of sample packages Sample packages must be sequentially numbered during the day of packing.
The Packed Product Controller must identify each sample package with a Packed Product Sample (PPS) number by placing either a stamp or sticker bearing the lettering PPS No. (Packed Product Sample Number) on the exposed end of the package, then marking on, or below, the identifier the sequential sample number and their initials.
