These are my own thoughts from what I’ve seen and lived through. I’m sharing them to spark some thinking and honest conversation, not because I have all the answers.

In Canada, many fruits and vegetables are non-GMO simply because there are no genetically modified versions approved for sale ‘Yet‘ Here are some common non-GMO fruits and vegetables you can find:

Vegetables (Non-GMO in Canada)

✅ Carrots
✅ Beets
✅ Lettuce & Leafy Greens (Spinach, Kale, Swiss Chard, etc.)
✅ Broccoli & Cauliflower
✅ Peppers (Bell, Hot, Sweet)
✅ Tomatoes (Most varieties, except some imported GMO types)
✅ Onions & Garlic
✅ Cucumbers
✅ Zucchini & Squash (Most varieties, but beware of some GMO summer squash in the U.S.)
✅ Potatoes (Unless specifically labeled as GMO)

Fruits (Non-GMO in Canada)

✅ Apples (Except the Arctic Apple, a GMO variety)
✅ Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Blueberries
✅ Grapes
✅ Cherries

Caution: GMO in Canada

🚨 Corn (Most field corn is GMO, but organic sweet corn is safe)
🚨 Soybeans (Almost all non-organic soy is GMO)
🚨 Canola (Most Canadian canola is GMO)
🚨 Papaya (Imported papaya from Hawaii may be GMO)

If you’re looking for truly non-GMO produce, buying organic or heirloom varieties from local farmers or growing your own is the best bet.
