arctic apples are a group of trademarked apples that contain a nonbrowning trait (when the apples are subjected to mechanical damage, such as slicing or bruising, the apple flesh remains as its original color) introduced through biotechnology. they were developed through a process of genetic engineering by okanagan specialty fruits inc. specifically, gene silencing reduces the expression of polyphenol oxidase (ppo), thus preventing the fruit from browning. it is the first genetically engineered apple to be approved for commercial sale, though innate potato varieties that were improved through biotechnology have also been approved for sale in the united states. the us food and drug administration (fda) in 2015, and the canadian food inspection agency, government of canada in 2017, determined that arctic apples are as safe and nutritious as conventional apples.
