No, a purple potato is not necessarily a genetically modified organism (GMO). Purple potatoes, like other colored potatoes, can be traditional varieties that have been cultivated through selective breeding. However, some purple potato varieties may be developed through genetic modification to enhance certain traits, but not all purple potatoes fall into this category. It’s important to check the specific variety and its breeding methods to determine if it is a GMO.
