So I was a bit confused. It's a GMO variety called NewLeaf potato that was genetically modified by Monsanto to produce its own insecticide. Still not something I would want to consume.
Oooh ok. Yes that makes sense. I'd have to look into it but I assume it is the same as the BT trait in corn, or at least very similar. Side note - ever since they put the BT/RR trait into sweet corn about a decade ago I can't hardly eat it. It tears my stomach up the next day. It's terrible. I really did love sweet corn on the cob.
