Original Note:
Gates is not poisoning your produce. Apeel invented Organipeel, a plant-derived coating, to extend the shelf life of organic produce. It is made from the skins and seeds of grapeseed oil. It is FDA-approved. They received support from the BMGF in 2012 & 2015. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/apr/24/instagram-posts/bill-gates-is-not-poisoning-your-produce-with-apee/ https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-apeel-fruit-produce-safety-sheet-867075775325 https://www.skagitfoodcoop.com/blog/apeel https://www.gatesfoundation.org/about/committed-grants/2015/08/opp1130141 https://www.apeel.com/product-information
