Tag: Chiquita bananas

Did you know the Cavendish banana, the variety most commonly sold globally, has been propagated asexually for decades through selective breeding, not modern genetic engineering? This same non-GMO status applies to Chiquita bananas, which come from traditionally bred cultivars, not lab-engineered crops.

According to Chiquita's official website, their bananas are perfectly suitable for vegans and have been featured in numerous vegan recipes. However, the question, 'Are Chiquita bananas vegan?' is more complex for some due to certain conventional farming practices in the broader industry.
