evidence: IN SHORT: Facebook posts have claimed that produce labelled "Apeel" should not be eaten. But Apeel’s plant-based coating is safe and "designed to be consumed". [...] One of the claims includes a graphic that says these products are filled with "toxic mono & diglycerides" and that it will "kill you slowly". [...] "Apeel is composed entirely of purified monoglycerides and diglycerides, edible compounds that can be found in a variety of foods," Apeel Sciences says.
