The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) announced Friday that it "has been notified that several Virginia residents have received unsolicited packages containing seeds that appear to have originated from China."
VDACS said neither the number of people who have received the seeds nor the species of plant can yet be confirmed.
"The types of seeds in the packages are unknown at this time and may be invasive plant species. The packages were sent by mail and may have Chinese writing on them," the VDACS statement continued.
A Fox affiliate in Salt Lake City also reported this week that Utah residents have also been receiving unsolicited seed packages with Chinese writing over the past two weeks.
