Ridiculous. The aspect of being genetically modified or not has by itself no influence on parameters of taste. At the local supermarket, you will be hard pressed to find "lab grown GMOs" in any produce section - most of it is grown in southern Sweden using traditional high yield crops (that may taste like nothing for reasons of production).

The Swedish Food Agency[1] states that there are very few genetically modified products on the market at all.

It must be my imagination then.

Most of the produce in Sweden is imported. I do love my seasonal berries though, they taste great. Everything else, from tomatoes to letuce/cucumbers and other daily produce taste like nothing.

You can try to refute that but it's a fact. I've lived in the Mediterranean so i have something to compare against.

It's not normal to leave an apple on the counter and look the same after a month.
