Original Note:
This claim is false. Apeel Sciences developed an edible coating deemed safe by the FDA called Edipeel, which extends the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Edipeel contains the same compounds found in olive oil & coconut oil. Bill Gates doesn’t own the company. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/apr/24/instagram-posts/bill-gates-is-not-poisoning-your-produce-with-apee/ https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N3721KC/ https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/05/02/apeel-bill-gates/ https://www.apeel.com/how-apeel-works
