    Thanks for the information and the coding. I will never be buying these Arctic apples. Hopefully enough consumers will know enough to boycott them. Still hard to believe anyone stupid enough to want to risk their health to consume an apple just because it doesn’t turn brown.

    I will never buy these apples. I love apples but if they are not organic I will not purchase. To put these things on the market is outrageous.

      That is what makes America so great- it’s the people. That’s what got us out of Viet Nam- the groundswell of the American people. This is what will kill the GMO s.
      No Arctic apples for me. I will write the supermarkets and tell them this is one consumer who won’t be buying. From what I understand many many more consumers will do the same thing. This is why Monsanto is so afraid of labeling and sharing their secrets.

    Just one reason not to buy an apple- Anything the trolls tell you is safe.

  4. When you buy apples, take one and slice it, wait for 2 hours. If it does not turn brown return remaining to the store and let them know.

      Excellent idea although if it is a Cortland it will take longer to brown.

    2. Shouldn’t have to do that. Let’s get it labeled.

      Why are you concerned about this? What possible risks do you see?

    4. Kristen Hunt says:

      Great idea! The more of us who speak up the better they will hear.

      This is correct because if the product has been “gene edited” fda does not consider it to be a gmo product and hence,no labeling. now they are fast tracking all kinds of fruits and vegetables that are off label gmo contaminated and allowing them to be sold with no gmo warning.

  5. Non-browning will hide bruises and breaks in the skin from rough handling. Is that safe and healthy?

  6. Skeptologist says:

    Pretty sure that the idea that there is some secret code in product label number is false. It sounds an awful lot like the claim that the coloured bars on the bottle of toothpaste tubes has some special meaning.

  7. Will this genetic modification spread through pollination to existing trees? What effect is there on bee population? Does anyone even know these answers?

    1. JOHN BISCIT says:

      You are correct- there is no way of knowing until it is too late. When you try to play GOD without the qualifications you will get burnt every time.

        absolutely…every time! That`s the problem trying to do it better than G`d

  8. When in doubt slice an apple and wait. 🙂

  9. We’re not going to win this fight. I personally don’t want to be a experiment statistic of the FDA or Monsanto!

    I wanted to find this article useful, but after the second “shockingly,” I realized I needed to look elsewhere for something credible.

    I think the main objective of these apples was to produce something that could be used in prepared fruit trays and fruit salads. They removed one gene that codes for an enzyme that causes browning. If you can’t live without that enzyme then you I guess you better avoid these apples. In my opinion if these help some kids choose fruits as a snack instead of Doritos these are a major success.

  12. Staci Will says:

    Choice is the key word here, if l choose not to eat genetically modified foods then please don’t trick me into eating it by not labeling it.

    1. Requiring GMO labels is like putting “gluten free” on bottled water. An unnecessary, pandering waste of time.

      1. E. Grogan says:

        In YOUR opinion, which sounds uninformed. You need to ask why any company has a problem telling us their food is GMO. There have been several studies done on this and rats grew huge tumors after GMO diet. They tried to tell us the study was fake, but the scientists sued and won. Do try to pay attention.

    You are welcome to consume what you like. We ask for the same consideration. Label it.
