evidence: Social media is rife with posts which claim that Apeel, a company producing edible coatings for fruits and vegetables, use toxic chemicals for their coatings. #Apeel has been trending on Twitter with calls to completely boycott the company and its products. For instance, an X user, Alison Steinberg, shared a clip from her show on a far right American cable channel, in which they speak of the dangers of Apeel. "Bill Gates & World Economic Forum backed ‘Apeel’ is being sprayed on produce. This toxic coating cannot be washed off. Be sure to look out for the label the next time you are in the grocery store," she wrote in the post, that has been viewed 1.4 million times. [...] In the video, delivered in a slightly alarmist tone, she says Apeel's main ingredients are mono- and diglycerides, "which are extracted from grape seed oil."
