Not for me…
The government on Friday approved the commercial planting of genetically engineered apples that are resistant to turning brown when sliced or bruised.
The developer, Okanagan Specialty Fruits, says it believes the nonbrowning feature will be popular with both consumers and food service companies because it will make sliced apples more appealing. The feature could also reduce the number of apples discarded because of bruising.
I assume the Apples are safe to eat but I prefer my fruit to be unaltered in a lab (at least down to the gene level).
Sadly they will not label these genetically altered fruits so I might forgo Apples entirely.
