Don't eat anything with the "Apeel" sticker on it. It just appeared in our grocery stores.

I saw it for the first time today. The cucumbers are not wraped in plastic but there's a big sign saying it is coated in Apeel to protect freshness and reduce plastic waste. The cucumbers also have a sticker on them with the word Apeel. I checked the company out, it's funded by Bill Gates and others and the WEF endorses it. And I checked their website out and you can't find any info about what Apeel is. Look at the frequently asked questions. They even tell you not to buy it if you're worried.


In Canada so far it's just on cucumbers and maybe apples. In the US it's on avocados and apples and possibly limes, lemons, and cucumbers. The company is very mysterious about what the product actually is. And it can't be washed off no matter how much scrubbing. It even says this on the website in the FAQ. Supposedly it can make produce last up to 3 times longer. Suddenly the price of cucumbers dropped today to just over $3 for 3 cucumbers in a pack or $1.27. They really want people to buy these cucumbers."


Safety data sheet says : APEEL Hazard statements H318 Causes serious eye damage. H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction. H412 Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Precautionary statements P280 Wear protective gloves/ protective clothing/ eye protection/ face protection. P302+P352 IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of water.

I haven't seen this sticker so far, but keep an I out, and let us know if anyone else has.

I agree with you about food covered with apeel. But the link you provided seems to be about the Cleaner called Apeel.

Oh well. I tried.
Sometimes getting the word out is blocked.

Thank you Raskal. Maybe a little plastic won't hurt you.

You know me. I am not so sure about the credibility of the FDA.
Aspertame/Sucralose is not harmful either.
Ever had Canola oil go bad on you?
I had with old "Jiffy" peanut butter I had stored for a long time. It turned to something like motor oil. Very rancid.

I had a real informative article on it years ago.

In short;
Canola is short for Canadian Oil, and it is made from mustard seed extract.
It has a very long Carbon chain, and breaks down with age.

It is cheap, which is a reason it is used extensively.

The biggest danger is if you heat it over many times, and it breaks down.

BTW; you posted some good articles on Apeel.
It may not be so bad.

Here is one of them;
Fact check: Apeel produce coating edible, considered safe by FDA

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/04/21/fact-check-post-confuses-apeel-produce-coating-cleaning-solution/11688840002/

The claim: Apeel produce coating can cause eye injuries and allergic skin reactions
An April 18 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) includes images of several product safety sheets and a picture of a lime with a sticker noting it has an Apeel-brand coating.

Circled phrases on the safety sheet include, “Causes serious eye damage,” and, “May cause an allergic skin reaction.”

"The dangers of Apeel are hidden on search engines requiring digging to find out just how toxic the process of expanding the shelf life of the crop is with technology that also involves heavy metals," the post reads.

An Instagram post making the same claim using the same document was liked more than 1,000 times before being deleted.

Our rating: False
The post is about a produce coating made by Apeel Sciences, but the fact sheet describing health risks is for a cleaning solution called Apeel made by a different company. The ingredients in the coating have been recognized by the Food and Drug Administration as safe.

Produce coating made from plants
Apeel Sciences, based in California, produces a plant-based solution called Edipeel it says keeps produce fresh longer.

The document warning about eye injuries and allergic skin reactions in the post, however, is for a cleaning solution called Apeel sold by U.K.-based Evans Vanodine. The portions of the document in the post match the full document posted online by the company.
