To combat pests and to stop the spread of diseases, there are some restrictions when moving food items into, out of and within Victoria.

Phylloxera zones

Phylloxera is an insect pest of grapevines. To prevent its spread, fresh grapes cannot be moved from phylloxera infested or risk zones into phylloxera exclusion zones unless they have been packed for sale with appropriate treatment.
