GENETICALLY modified fruit salad just got real. Along with virus-resistant papayas, apples are joining the ranks of biotech fruit sold in US grocery stores.
The first commercial harvest of GMO golden delicious apples will be going from Washington state orchards to around 400 Midwestern grocery stores in early November. They'll be sold sliced up in 10-ounce grab bags, and because they're modified, they take much longer to brown when exposed to the air.
