The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) approved two genetically engineered apple varieties designed to resist browning that have been developed by the Canadian company Okanagan Specialty Fruits Inc.The apples are said to be identical to the others but with an added advantage of resisting browning after being sliced. Okanagan plans to market the apples as Arctic Granny and Arctic Golden.
