Apeel was not just approved for organic produce. Apeel Sciences made two food coatings, Edipeel for conventional produce and Organipeel for organic produce. In 2019, Organipeel was approved by the EPA and the Organic Materials Review Institute as an organic fungicide. People are mistaking that Organipeel was just approved, which is old news. In fact,\u00a0Apeel has since discontinued Organipeel\u00a0and is working on new formulations for USDA organic growers.\u00a0No Apeel food coatings are currently approved or in the market for organic produce. I confirmed this with the OMRI yesterday.<\/p>\n

Edipeel is still allowed for conventional non-organic produce in the US including avocados, limes, oranges, mandarins, grapefruits, and lemons. The vast majority of produce at the grocery store is coated with insect based, petroleum based, or plant based food coatings, not Apeel. The best bet to remove Apeel or any type of food coating is using vinegar and water and scrubbing with a vegetable brush or cloth.<\/p>\n
