Have you heard of ‘Apeel’ yet? Two weeks ago, I wrote a blog about it and I have more information to share now that will make your blood boil even more. It is a toxic substance they are putting on fruits and vegetables to give them longer shelf lives. They claim it is ‘food grade’, ‘natural’, ‘plant-based’ and ‘generally recognized as safe’. I believe this is a very importatn topic and will be sharing information any way I can in my cooking classes, my blog, my LIVE’s on Facebook and YouTube, and anywhere else I can get the word out about this poisonous substance being put on our food.
And they are putting this on organic produce also!
Take Action! This is the first petition I have found to sign to boycott or take action against this toxic ‘Apeel’. (BTW, if you find any other petitions to sign to boycott this product, please send them to me.)

Here are some of the highlights about the poison in ‘Apeel’:
Contains: Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, Palladium and Mercury
Contains: Citric Acid which is almost always derived from GMO corn
Contains: Soap, sodium oleate (yes, extra salt, sodium in your diet)
Contains: Ethyl acetate, a flavoring agent, used in solvents, paints, lacquers, perfumes and processed foods, which is toxic if ingested or inhaled
Heptane: Used in test fuels, petroleum refinements, cements and inks
Contains: Toluene, a highly toxic chemical with a wide range of detrimental health effects when inhaled, swallowed or when comes in contact with skin or eyes
Other Terrible Things about ‘Apeel’:
Countries selling produce coated with Apeel include the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Peru, Spain, Sweden, Norway, China, Australia, South Africa, Poland, and Japan.
It cannot be washed off
No information campaign or consent was ever done, they just quietly started spraying our food with this toxic substance
This is a creation from the crazy Gates, the same person who gave us GMO’s
Labeling laws vary from state to state and country to country
It is made from diglycerides of fatty acids, which means it contains trans fats
The ‘Apeel’ substance is going to be heated before putting on the produce, so if you are eating all raw, will your produce really be raw anymore? https://patents.google.com/patent/US9957215B2/en
The produce is also being ‘santized’ before the ‘Apeel’ is applied: https://patenent/US20170332650A1/ents.google.com/pat
Apeel describes how they apply voltage in their coating process. The goal is to turn the liquid spray into a polymer like wax or plastic: https://patents.google.com/patent/US10239069B2/en
This is the FDA document for ‘Apeel’: https://www.fda.gov/media/135999/download
Here is a list of stores that are going to carry ‘Apeel’:
Costco
Trader Joe’s
Fairway Market
Ralphs
Sprouts
Vons
Walmart
Whole Foods
Kroger
Harps Foods
Price Right
Target
I hope everyone reading this is as outraged as I am that they are spraying our produce with this toxic substance and it was without letting the public have a voice about it. I do believe has they informed us or had a vote about this that ‘Apeel’ would have been rejected unanimously.

Sprouts...I have a friend in Dallas who went into her local store to inquire about Apeel. She was told Sprouts would not be carrying Apeel food. Furthermore, if Apeel came into the store a picture of it would be taken, sent to the rep, and the food destroyed. This conversation took place sometime in the summer. She also inquired about mRNA in the meat products. They weren't sure about that.
