Extract

Details of the insect and mite infestation encountered on food commodities imported into Britain from the United States of America between 1953 and 1961 are given. Twenty-eight species of insects and nine species of mites, thought to have been introduced with the goods are listed together with a further 35 species of insects thought to have been derived from ships' holds. Emphasis is laid on the dangers of foodstuffs acquiring infestation either by cross-infestation or from infested residues in the holds.
