EVERYONE CALM DOWN! – The APEEL Safety Data Sheet Circulating the Internet is NOT for the ‘Edible’ Food Coating

by

Edipeel is a produce coating that will extend the shelf-life of some fruits and vegetables. It is made by a US company called Apeel (Apeel.com). Someone decided to associate it with a Material Safety Data Sheet for a product called APEEL, made by a UK cleaning product company called Evans Vanodine.

It took me less than two minutes to determine that the APEEL Safety Cleaning Product data sheet came from a completely different company for a distinctly different product with an entirely unrelated application.

Any exhortations and hyperbolic rantings to avoid Apeel labeled produce at all costs as a result of that datasheet are misleading, misguided, and just wrong.

For general product details for the food coating, Edipeel, please look here.

 

 

Apeel’s Edipeel is a thin, edible postharvest coating made from plant-derived materials that extends the shelf-life of fresh fruits and vegetables by slowing moisture loss and reducing oxidation. ..

Apeel’s Edipeel is composed entirely of a mixture of food grade glycerolipids derived from edible plant oils, specifically the food additive mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, which conform to the specifications set forth by the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC), Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), and the European Union.

 

To be clear, I am not saying that Edipeel is safe because the FDA or any other regulatory agency approves it. Or just because it is approved for use in Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Peru, and South Africa,.. and in the European Union, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Many of those nations convinced millions of citizens that the COVID Vaxx poison was safe and effective.

What I am saying is that the internet coughs up a lot of sh!t, and no one is immune, but sometimes things really are too absurd to be true.

For the record, I  know very little about Apeel.com’s Edipeel, except that it is not used as a neutral hard surface cleaner made by Evans Vanodine. It may yet prove some sinister plot by globalists to shrink the size and effectiveness of transwomen’s testes or to inflame their girly little prostate. I have no idea. It might just be a useful plant-based food covering that will one day double at keeping the insects fresh so you can poison yourself with chitin.

That’s not my point today, so feel free to avoid it, but please do us a favor. If you see the APEEL cleaner data sheet presented as the fruit-coating in your virtual travels, link to this piece (or anything similar) so we can prevent anyone else from doing that of which we are so often wrongly accused. Spreading misinformation.

Thanks!
