"In the report Saturday, China Central Television said the ants found in the pistachio shipment could ?cause a serious threat to trees and to the ecological environment.? Part of the batch, which arrived by ship to the port of Zhongshan, will be destroyed and the rest will be returned, CCTV said, without giving any other details."
