At the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), fruit growers have asked the government to de-register the genetically modified (GM) Arctic Apple until further studies can be conducted.
The FDA recently approved a non-browning, GMO apple. But the idea that consumers won’t touch an apple that has started to brown once it has been cut open is a ridiculous reason to justify the creation of GM Arctic Apples, given approval by the United States FDA without any concern for human health. Especially when non-GMO, non-browning apples already exist.
