In the USA, tomato brown rugose fruit virus (Tobamovirus fructirugosum, ToBRFV – EPPO A2 List) is no longer regulated on tomato and pepper fruits for consumption. This allows US growers to market fruit grown at facilities where ToBRFV virus is detected, rather than having to destroy the fruit. The restrictions on import of host propagative material, including seed remain in force (APHIS, 2024).
