Non-GMO Project
On October 13, 2020, fruit giant Del Monte Fresh r On October 13, 2020, fruit giant Del Monte Fresh released the Pinkglow Pineapple, a fruit that is genetically modified to produce pink flesh. With a price tag of up to $49, the Pinkglow is beyond the reach of many consumers. 

At the Non-GMO Project, we take food seriously — food access is serious, healthy, and equitable food access even more so — and the introduction of such a costly product when food insecurity has doubled in a single year is baffling. The Pinkglow is what happens when the need for PR buzz drives science, generating a product that nobody needs and very few will be able to buy.
