In summer 2020, unsolicited seeds, labeled as a variety of things such
as beads and jewelry, arrived in mailboxes around the United States,
prompting investigation by U.S. Department of Agriculture.
This summer, many Americans — including Arizona residents — were perplexed when they received mysterious seed packets in the mail from China.
The United States Department of Agriculture launched an investigation and established guidelines for recipients. The shipments have decreased but not stopped completely.

While a majority of Arizona’s reports have come from the Phoenix and Tucson areas, all 15 counties have reported the mysterious parcels.
