Tag: Gmo apples

A tiny fraction of commercially grown apples are genetically modified. Only one specific brand, the Arctic® apple, uses genetic engineering to prevent browning, prompting consumer questions about which apples are GMOs and how to tell the difference.

Over 95% of apples sold globally are non-GMO varieties, meaning the chances of a standard apple containing GMO traits are very low. However, the key question for many consumers remains: does Apple contain GMO variants that might be in your local grocery store?. The answer is yes, but only a specific type designed to prevent browning.
