Go to the grocery store or fruit stand. There will be 10-15 different variety of apples. ALL of them are "GM foods". That is generally the case for many fruits.


Actually there are only 3 varieties of bioengineered apples approved in the United States. USDA reports about 1,000-1,500 acres total. They would have "Artic" trade name.

So the average shopper isn't seeing any in regular grocery stores. Same for other fruits.

There are only 2 other fruits approved. -- a papaya and a pink fleshed pineapple.

Most foods labeled bioengineered are because of corn, canola or soybean ingredients (oils etc).

Here is a USDA link to all of the bioengineered foods available in the world.

USDA bioengineered food list.

Good to know. My granddaughter loves her some apple juice.
