Bill Gates Apeel coating product is approved to be used on Organic Foods.

Somehow it was approved to be used in organic foods even though it contains mono- and diglycerid which are explicitly banned to be used on organic foods by the USDA

“Regulators approved appeal as a fungicide, not a coating. A technical loophole that slides it under organic certification rules.

So while you think you're buying clean, untouched food, you're actually getting produce treated with compounds that critics warn may leave behind residues like arsenic, lead, cadmium, and palladium.”

Mono- and diglycerides are only permitted in organic production for drum drying, not as coatings, Organipeel’s use as a coating violates USDA regulations.

If it’s so safe as a coating, why did regulators have to approve it as a fungicide instead of a coating for organic foods?
