The Arctic Fuji apple has now been granted deregulated status by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

“The response to Arctic Fuji apples and our overall platform to deliver direct benefits to consumers has been encouraging,” said Neal Carter, Okanagan Specialty Fruits’ founder and president. “We are confident the positive feedback we have received will translate to the marketplace."
It's not until the apple is cut, bitten or bruised that it shows signs it's not like other apples, and its non-browning benefit becomes apparent.
