"The main ingredient found in the Apeel coating is... processed with the use of two solvents... both of which are hazardous chemicals known to seriously damage internal organs." 🤔

Washing Off: Apeel's own website states that the coating cannot be completely removed from fruits and vegetables without damaging the produce, leaving consumers with no means to avoid exposure. Apeel claims this is not necessary given the safety of the coating.

Food waste is a primary concern nowadays. The world simply can’t afford all the food waste, specifically in fruits and vegetables. And a big part of this waste is because fruits and vegetables simply go bad, they rot away. What if there was a way to slow down this natural decay, and make your veggies stay fresh for longer? This is where Apeel comes in. Apeel mimics the natural peel of fruits and vegetables, but being an extra layer, gives your produce extra shelf time. However, it is totally edible, non toxic, colourless, odourless and tasteless. It is produced in the form of a powder that, when mixed with water, can be sprayed or brushed into produce and form a new “peel”. This new peel is really a thin protective layer that keeps moisture in and prevents oxidation.
