Yeah, having the read the article, my conclusion was that you should avoid honeycrisps from like February through ~August. i.e. only buy them when they're vaguely in season, or not too long afterward.

Anecdotally, I had some pretty delicious honeycrisps last night (in WA).

You also need to be aware of how the grocer stocks.

As an example, during the peak of peach season in the region, a South Carolina Sam’s Club had pallets of California peaches!
