USDA asked to accept GMOS-Apple, which is brown (AP)
CASHMERE, Wash. – A Canadian biotechnology company is asked to accept genetically modified Apple, which is brown soon thereafter sliced, can contribute to improving the the United States, saying the sale of apples snacks, salads and for other purposes.
Us Apple farmers say it is too soon to know whether they would be interested in the Apple trees: they need to find out the nature of the cost of the planting of the Apple, and, most importantly, whether people buy it.
"Genetically modified — that is a bad word in our industry," said Todd Fryhover, Washington State, which produces more than half of the U.s. crop in the Apple-the President of the Commission.
But Neal Carter, a company that develops apples, the President said the technology to reduce the engine speed for producing multiple images of fresh slices, which has become a popular addition to the children's lunch boxes, and present the apples, the salads and other dishes popular quickly.
Carter's company, Okanagan Specialty Fruits, Summerland, British Colombia, access to the Australian researchers, in addition to the fact that, in the case of potatoes-browning technique. Substantially equivalent to the production of the enzyme, which causes the browning of the genes is silenced, the placing on the market of Apple in a different than the "Arctic."
"They look like Apple and grow such as Apple trees and produces apples, which display all other apples, and when you cut them, they do not remove the Brown," Carter said. "Advantage is something that can be identified virtually all."
US Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has examined residue in approximately 100 ml of genetically-engineered petitions, or modified. Those who have done the most attention is designed to withstand certain artificial killers, but which, as a result of the approval by the Agency in the case of Tomatoes ripen more slowly changed — the first genetically modified crops approved in the United States in 1992 — and plums, which opposes a particular virus. This is the first petition for apples.
USDA Biotechnology regulations is to ensure that genetically modified crops are as safe agriculture and the environment than any traditionally bred crop varieties, the spokesman of the r. Andre Bell said in a statement. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service shall act in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency and the food and drug administration, depending on the product to ensure safety.
Approval may take up to one year and it is not clear, apples, is hereby approved on behalf of the Government of the United States, even if they pass the inspection.
Fryhover starting of concern cross pollination of the conventional with release into the environment of genetically modified trees if they are planted in the immediate vicinity. He also questioned whether the Arctic, as well as the sale of apples produced enough to offset the $ 10 000-20 000 acre reunaehtoon costs per replanting.
Carter said farmers replant their orchards and the company's aim is always a big farmers plant apples large blocks of text, so the cross pollination is minimized. Carter said, he is sure, the fruit does not harm the environment, and he has submitted to the USDA and FDA paperwork to prove his point.
"Some people do not keep it precisely what it is," he said. "Ultimately, it is a great product, process and people will see a question, get it was a very good science."
Companies have invested heavily in order to improve the taste of crops, genetically, outputs or nutrition and make them resistant, said Andrew Kimbrell, Center for Food Safety, established in Washington, D.C., often with a general interest in the public interest group Executive Director, even though the genes that determine the persistence of these properties is one of a small part of the complex system, he said.
"Scientists saying they've only removing one thing off, but this switch is connected to another switch, and the second option," said Kimbrell. "You can only do one thing nature. It's nice to think about it, but it just do this. "
He also said browning technique shall receive the State-of-the-art more than Apple farmers and consumers by allowing companies to sell for apples, shippers, which are older than they look.
"Botox-Apple is, not what people are looking for," Kimbrell said. "I'm predicting error."
Crunch Pak, Cashmere, Sweet., Head Office of which is the No. 1 sliced Apple market, including Costco, Kroger Co., Publix and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. with customers in the year 2000 established by the size of the enterprise has increased threefold over the last four years of almost 500 employees and new at the processing plant in Pennsylvania.
The apples of Ascorbic acid in combination with calcium and vitamin c rinse — — in order to preserve the freshness. The quality and the taste is always important, but Tony Freytag spokesman said the biggest problem is food safety.
"Quite frankly, rather, I will remove the Brown than I think it is still OK, since it is still white, Apple," he said. "I'm not discounting of browning. Not only as a miracle cure. "
All agree that the consumer makes the final call. They largely accept other genetically modified crops, but whether they will make the same apples, it remains to be seen.
"Is something about Apple. Health and nutrition, and then enable the symbol is a around and that is to say, it is genetically modified — against what is not, go to consumers say they're looking for? "Fryhover asked."Right now, wouldn't you say the industry is changing to go in either direction. We need to know more. "
