Episode #118: Apeel: Separating Fact From Fiction
Dec 07, 2023 Episode 118
Joel Salatin, Dr. Sina McCullough

Today is a must-hear episode for anyone who eats fruits and vegetables.  Farmer Joel and Dr. Sina are joined by Jenny Du, the co-founder of Apeel.  

Apeel is a company that created a postharvest coating for fruits and vegetables with the goal of reducing food waste.  There is a lot of controversy around this product right now and many listeners have emailed questions and concerns, such as: 

  • Is the company funded by Bill Gates?
  •  Should we boycott Bragg’s organic ACV b/c I saw a post online saying Bragg’s is now using Apeel apples?
  • Is the Apeel coating made from petroleum? 
  • Does it contain GMOs?
  •  Does the coating contain heavy metals?
  • I heard the coating contains a pesticide and is being used on organic produce, is that true?
  • Why are they putting coatings on our food?

Joel and Sina dig deep to answer these questions and more!
