“The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved two varieties of genetically engineered apples and six varieties of genetically engineered potatoes for human consumption Friday. The apples and potatoes were approved as part of a voluntary consultation process in which the FDA reviewed information submitted by the companies about how the foods had been changed on a molecular level and how they compared nutritionally with conventional apples and potatoes. In February, the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved Artic apples for cultivation and sale. Those apples are expected to become commercially available in 2017.”
