N.Z. apples may have advantage
JOHN HUTCHISON
BY
in San Francisco New Zealand apples have made their 1989 debut in retail bins in San Francisco. A recent United States alarm over carcinogens in apples from other sources has subsided, although it left many consumers with heightened suspicions of toxins in produce generally. The North American
representative of the Apple and Pear Board, Mr Clive Durand, said he believed the image of New Zealand produce as wholesome "may mean we have been set apart” from suspicion. The criticism which set off the alarm was directed at apples from north-eastern districts of the United States, where orchardists were accused of using daminozide to heighten colour and crispness.
