evidence: A social media post shared a photo of a food item with an Apeel label whose post description reads, ‘ DO NOT EAT ANYTHING WITH THIS LABEL!! This is a Bill Gates-founded company using toxic mono & diglycerides to make you SICK! ‘Let’s fact-check this post’s claim through this article. [...] Fact: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recognises mono and diglycerides, the ingredients of Apeel’s Edipeel, as food substances generally recognised as safe. Hence, the claim made in the post is False. [...] Mono- and diglycerides fall under the GRAS (Generally Recognised As Safe) classification of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Apeel also mentions the same on their website. A WHO report states,’ No harmful effects have been specifically associated with mono- or diglycerides. ‘ The Centre for Science in the Public Interest gave a ‘safe’ rating to Mono- and diglycerides. This evidence contradicts the viral claim that these compounds cause sickness.
