I had a “US Extra Fancy” Washington state organic apple today that came in a package of apples. When I went to wash it, I saw that the apple was just too perfect, and was particularly waxy. I tried to wash it off but it never really came off. I looked up the store where I purchased their name brand organic apples (also finding out their old organic label now means bupkis<\/a>) and while they might use beeswax on some organic produce, they generally use a product called Apeel.<\/a> It’s made of purified monoglycerides and diglycerides. The government says its Generally Assumed Safe and if you eat it, you are consuming 10% of your daily limit in 1 apple. They have no idea what it does to you long term if you consistently ingest it. In my hunger haste I cut the skin off- which in turns reduces the fiber and polyphenols like 40%! What a waste. Alternatively, you might try to soak your fruits and veg in a 1:1 solution of white vinegar and water. Simple washing (I used soap) will not remove it. I didn’t have time today. It did get me thinking about produce labeling once more. If you need a reminder, like I did, here’s the 411:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now my apples had a five digit code starting with a 4! AI is telling me that the store is using their own “inhouse codes” on the PCU label. What a grift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BlogBiz: I’ve turned off some plug-ins that may have gotten in the way of some of the posters’ issues with mod_security and whatnot. Its guesswork if I turned off the correct one; let see how it goes. I appreciate you hanging in there. If you experience problems, always feel free to send me an email at info@orderlyrandomness.com and let me know the time you experienced the failure, what the error code might have been, and what the name was on the post that failed. Thanks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
