Fruit Fly Restrictions

The Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) has updated its information about fruit fly restrictions in South Australia. 

This might change the types of fruit and vegetables your child can bring to school/preschool/childcare.

New colour coded maps show the red outbreak areas, yellow suspension areas, and green areas not affected by fruit fly. 

If you live in the red outbreak area:

If it is home grown leave it home. You can continue to pack lunchboxes with fruit and vegetables purchased from retail shops providing it is secured in a lunchbox and the waste is disposed of correctly at school if located in a red or yellow area. 

Grated, dried, frozen, cooked or pureed fruit and vegetables of any kind are acceptable. 

If you live in the yellow suspension area:

Homegrown fruit can be taken to school as long as your school is also within the yellow area. 

You can continue to pack lunchboxes with fruit and vegetables purchased from retail shops providing it is secured in a lunchbox and the waste is disposed of correctly at school if located in a red or yellow area. 

Grated, dried, frozen, cooked or pureed fruit and vegetables of any kind are acceptable. 

If you live in the green not impacted area: 

Your child can bring any type of fresh fruit or vegetable to school, preschool or childcare. 

We appreciate your cooperation as we help protect South Australia from fruit fly.
