They want to put this edipeel on vegetables/fruits to make them last longer ...in the store?   because i got a good idea that the main concern with the store and the middle man is that green dollar.

A big part of the suspicion comes from the globalist-minded organizations behind the company. The CEO and founder of the Apeel is a World Economic Forum (WEF) Young Global Leader. And the first grant used to kickstart the company in 2012 came from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

However, concerns about Edipeel are larger than its affiliations. It’s the same concern that comes with any new food additive: Is it healthy, and is it safe?

That depends on who you ask. Regulators around the world vouch for Edipeel’s safety. However, restrictions can vary. The product is allowed for use on all fruits and vegetables in Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Peru, and South Africa, with no restrictions. However, in the European Union, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, Edipeel is permitted only on a handful of produce where the peel isn’t consumed: avocados, citrus, mangoes, papayas, melons, bananas, pineapples, and pomegranates.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says Edipeel is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS), and it has even been approved to coat certified organic produce.

Is this the problem with Costco produce? it looks pretty but it is hard, inedible, tasteless and therefore expensive. then you have the matter of eating another preservative.
