evidence: These posts rehash viral claims from April 2023 that questioned the safety of Apeel, alleging that the product contained heavy metals and other harmful chemicals. At the time, multiple fact-checking organizations found these claims to be false. [...] Several posts (examples here and here) claimed that Apeel contains 99.34% of "secret" or "other" undisclosed ingredients. This exact figure appears in a 2019 registration of another product from Apeel Sciences named Organipeel with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Organipeel is a version of the Apeel coating intended to be used as a pesticide for organic food. [...] Viral posts claiming that Apeel, an edible plant-based coating that protects fruits and vegetables from spoiling, is unsafe to consume are inaccurate and misleading. Apeel doesn’t contain toxic ingredients. The product is made from glycerides extracted from grapeseed that are naturally present in certain foods and are recognized as a safe food additive in the U.S. and Europe.
