Maybe they aren't genetically modified but the fact that the concentrated grape flavor is USDA and FDA approved doesn't automatically give me the warm fuzzies either!

Well, we I stand corrected on Grapples. I read 's post to my husband and son, and son said, No Mom they are soaked in a kool aid like solution. So, I googled it. Here is the Grapple site. Click on the How they are made tab. They are NOT genetically modified. However, they are soaked, treated with a solution which imparts the grape flavor. http://www.grapplefruits.com/process.html

GrÄpple® brand apples begin either as Washington Extra Fancy Gala or Fuji Apples, depending upon the season. These "premium apples" are the ones that take on the grape flavor best. This Patented Process is complex and the ingredient mix primarily includes concentrated grape flavor and pure water (USPP #7,824,723). All ingredients are USDA and FDA approved and the process has been licensed by the Washington State Department of Agriculture.

There is nothing but flavor being infused into the apple. A relaxing bathing process prepares our apples for you or your kids. The apple takes on no additional sugars or calories. They are not genetically altered in any way. The apple is as healthy as ever but now has the new exciting grape flavor.
