fruits and vegetables that are shipped in from the mainland... can they become infected after they get here?
Most mainland fruits and vegies are shipped already packaged, boxed and loaded into metal shipping containers. They would then be transferred at the harbor or airport to a truck for distribution to a warehouse or store. Generally the pallets, forklifts, trucks, storage rooms, reefers, etc would not house any slugs - - however if the warehouse or grocery also buys local vegetables or fruits stored in the same room, it's POSSIBLE slugs could crawl from one box to another. Not likely though.
You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.
