evidence: Does the Apeel produce coating Organipeel contain an "unidentified coating" that is falsely labeled as organic and that could be harmful to human health? No, that's not true: Though it may be applied to organic produce, it is neither considered an organic product by regulatory agencies nor does the company claim it to be. Orangipeel is a coating used to delay produce spoilage and is primarily made of a derivative from plant oils but it also contains citric acid. [...] Apeel is a company that produces a plant-derived post-harvest coating used to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. One of the company's products, Organipeel, is a coating that also contains citric acid, an organic compound found in citrus fruits that is utilized in the U.S. as an antimicrobial pesticide, fungicide, and virucide, among other uses. The safe-to-eat coating is also made of mono and diglycerides, naturally occurring lipids, that are derived from plant oils to "mimic the natural protection already existing on fruits and vegetables." "Apeel is a coating made from grapeseeds that contain mono- and diglycerides," Prest told Lead Stories. "The coating when applied to produce like apples, avocados, cucumbers, limes, and oranges reduces spoilage of the produce and also reduces the use of plastic wrap on produce because spoilage is minimized."
