Once organic produce is contaminated with Apeel's chemicals, it ceases to be organic!
This is from the FDA GRAS Notice...
"Apeel Sciences provides specifications for monoglyceride (≥ 91%) and diglyceride (≤ 7%) levels as well as limits for ethyl acetate (≤ 100 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg)), acetonitrile (≤ 5 mg/kg), toluene (≤ 5 mg/kg), hexane (≤ 25 mg/kg), and individual heavy metals (including Lead (≤ 1 mg/kg), Palladium (≤ 3 mg/kg) and Arsenic (≤ 0.2 mg/kg)), in the finished product."

Monoglycerides are GRAS for use as a surface-finishing agent and/or texturizer to protect freshness and extend shelf-life of agricultural products.
www.fda.gov@CynthiaK23 I was hoping it would tell me if washing it would remove the chemicals but I didn’t see that. Excellent post.
