It’s just apples my guy

GMO’s? They are the market standard. If it isn’t organic it’s most likely modified. Although not much awareness is given on this fact

Yup! Super BAD for people to consume. :(

there are already so many things we shouldn't be eating but we do because we don't think it hurts us.

Thank you for your kind words and continued support! We are so glad to hear you were pleased with the quality of your apples 😊

Readers note this old fart is probably dead now. HE did his best to POISON the internet. He has no science education at all and is blind to the extremes of his lies that spit in the faces of our honest hard working farmers and crop scientists. He wants you to have browned ugly apples.

Op is right and the guy above me works for Monsanto and lusts for children

And...we shouldn't trust them!

amen

Thanks for your question. Our apples are commercialized in the US, and will be back in stores soon. AND our Arctic ApBitz™ dried apple snacks will be back at Amazon.com soon, too. Our newsletter group hears all the release information first. You can sign up at www.arcticapples.com/email-signup/.

@@ArcticApples they are still not in stores tho...

Full FDA approval and deregulation information can be found online. www.aphis.usda.gov/stakeholders/downloads/2015/SA_arctic_apples.pdf

Thanks for your question. All FDA information is available publicly. Here's a link to a document source that can lead you to the full ruling. www.aphis.usda.gov/stakeholders/downloads/2015/SA_arctic_apples.pdf

Hi Maryam. Arctic apples have been deregulated by the USDA, FDA, CFIA and Health Canada. wayback.archive-it.org/7993/20170406152153/www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm439121.htm

Deregulated means they bribed enough people to get a license to poison. As if the revolving door fda actually does tests Below is an accurate portrayal of how this company has slipped poison into our food supply: Fda: "duh dud you do a study?" Corporation: yes, but r&d is private, you will have to take our word that we've done due diligence, including sealed laboratory testing for an entire human generation. Fda: "wow Corporations are just so wise and just and good."

For more information about the science of our apples, our website has more detail. Questions are encouraged and we're happy to answer them. www.arcticapples.com/arctic-apples-r/introducing-nonbrowning/

ArcticApples STOP MESSING WITH NATURE.

GMOs such as apples like these are really beneficial as they are nutritious and healthy and are the same as natural apples, however they do not brown. This is great for reasons such as food waste and global produce, I think it’s a huge positive. Did you know that watermelons are completely unnatural yet are able to satisfy and have become a staple fruit?

Everything around you is a product of messing with nature.

@@maztsui that's why seemingly EVERYONE is dealing with some sort of illness or disease & getting cancer treatments, surgeries & on heavy medications. It's sickening what has been done to our NATURAL food supply. But that's ok, there WILL come a day of reckoning whether those who have done this believe it or not....

Thanks for your interest in our apples. Currently our sales are in the US, and we'll be selling into Canada next. Our focus right now is on getting all of our orchards planted and to maturity. Small steps first.

@Lachlan Offord So far there are no plans to ship and sell them in Britain. But we like to keep our options open, just in case. Thanks for your support.

Thank God most foreign countries actually care about their people so they won't allow this GMO trash.

@@peterson553 Amen!

Hi Michael. Our apples have been studied extensively in Canada and the U.S. It's quite a long and rigorous process. We have more information on our website about the science of PPO silencing. Hope that helps. www.okspecialtyfruits.com/our-science/ppo-silencing/

@@ArcticApples nothing but cope and corporate pr propaganda

Hi Julio. We did years of marketing research and are proud to offer consumers apples with many benefits, including reducing food waste. Our products are labeled with the Arctic® logo and a QR code to scan for more information.

ArcticApples I get you are a firm with a product to offer, you better be behind your product but the truth of the matter is supply should only be produced because of demand. The way I see it this product is being offered because it is a tool for the transgenic movement in big food not remotely because consumers are asking for it. It's a cool project and I wish you well I just hope you don't oppose to being straightforward and letting people know they're buying transgenic apples. If they so choose to support your firm, awesome. Maybe there is a niche Community out there for your product but this is solving a problem that doesn't exist.

Hi Julio. We appreciate your questions. Arctic apples are our way to address how we as fruit growers could help reduce food waste; our website goes into more detail on why we've been working hard on nonbrowning apples as a piece of the puzzle in food science. We believe we all have a responsibility to better our food future, and this is one part of ours. Thanks for engaging with us. PS: here's a link that helps explain our commitment to a sustainable food future www.okspecialtyfruits.com/2018-sustainable-healthy-planet/

We're more than happy to address any specific concerns or questions you may have. Arctic apples have gone through years of studies and multiple regulatory authorities in both the US and Canada have found them to be just as safe and healthy as conventional apples.

Who would want to take the risk of eating these crap GMO apples when you can get a non GMO apple that does not brown! www.opalapples.com/ Okanagan Specialty Fruits Inc needs to go bankrupt very soon! Boycott the shit out of these monsters!

Hi Maddie. Thanks for taking the time to share your concerns. Arctic apples are actually one of the most studied foods on the planets and multiple regulatory agencies have concluded that they are just as healthy and safe as a conventional apple.

Oh sorry, I didn't realize this was written on a professional level. Anyways, I understand that you guys are working hard to improve apples, but I also understand that modifying food isn't healthy for people. If something seems too good to be true, it usually is, as in this case. (It's not really this product specifically, just all GMOs and pesticides in general)

It's a pretty shocking statistic when you find out that nearly half of all apples produced are wasted - so that's a huge reason why this is needed. Apple waste doesn't just occur at home after apples are cut. Bruising and superficial browning occurs across all segments of the supply chain from the orchard to packing facilities to transportation to retailers, resulting in apples unnecessarily being thrown out. Also, our apples slices are preservative-free which means that the taste of our apples won't be altered like other apple slices that are on the market. All our products will be clearly branded with our name and logo - our story and the science behind it is much more than a word and we really want to give consumers the complete picture so they can educate themselves about the benefits of biotechnology.

@@ArcticApplesit’s a pretty shocking statistic when you find out that this garbage is harmful for your health and you’ve been lied to about what this product ACTUALLY is

Transparency has always been an important initiative for Okanagan Specialty Fruits and will continue to be. We’ve made every effort to educate the public about how our apples were developed and they’ve gone through strict regulatory approvals to ensure that they are just as safe as any other conventional apple. All Arctic® apple products will be clearly labelled with our logo making our brand easily identifiable. In addition, our packaging will give consumers access to further information about our story and how Arctic® apples were developed. Arctic® apples unique nonbrowning trait in fact benefits every sector of the supply chain from farmers to retailers to consumers. Our interests are plain and simple - reduce food waste and increase apple consumption.

Shut up Amber you have no idea what you’re talking about all they did was knock out a gene encoding an enzyme that catalyzes the browning reaction when the apple tissue is exposed to oxygen there’s absolutely no logical reason why this would be harmful to people, the apple trees, or the environment. You fear what you don’t understand and have fallen victim to conspiracy theories I bet you’re an anti-vaxxer who thinks the government put fluoride in the water to cloud your third eye too.

ArcticApples A lot of Genetic Engineering is good for us

Arctic apples will still break down and naturally rot. It's just the superficial browning that occurs when apples are bitten, sliced, or bruised that has been prevented.

Hi Mallow Master, thanks for the kind words and your questions! The apples we have growing in our orchards are primarily Arctic Granny and Arctic Golden varieties, which are simply nonbrowning versions of Granny Smith and Golden Delicious. They have the same taste, nutrition, grow the same in the orchard, etc. As for red apples, the next variety we plan to market will be Arctic Fuji, with Arctic Gala expected to follow. So, two sweeter red varieties are on the way!
