Chelan Ranch apples are not GMO. You cannot have a certified organic variety if it was genetically modified. All certified organic apples come from non-gmo rootstalk, scion or bud wood.

SweeTango apples are a great example of a hybrid apple, not a GMO. It is a cross between a Zestar and a Honeycrisp. This cross occurs through cross pollination with bees and does NOT involve any changes to the genetic makeup of apples, trees, or seeds.  When universities create new varieties of apples, they do this through scientific breeding programs which are as natural as breeding programs involving animals.  Here is an article about the SweeTango apple that goes into further detail.
