Is it true that fresh strawberries can contain insect larvae, such as spotted wing drosophila larvae, that emerge when the fruit is soaked in salt water?
Unclear. Two peer-reviewed items establish that spotted wing drosophila is a berry pest that lays eggs into fresh ripening fruit, so larvae can be present in strawberries, but no retrieved item addresses larvae emerging when fruit is soaked in salt water.
