Appeal Sciences: The Edible Coating Extending the Shelf Life of Produce

The introduction of an edible coating called Appeal is promising to double the lifespan of fruits and vegetables. Created by Appeal Sciences, this plant-derived coating is applied to produce to keep it fresher for longer. However, there are concerns about the ingredients used in Appeal, with some critics raising questions about the safety and health implications of the coating. While Appeal has been approved by regulatory authorities, there are concerns about the chemicals involved and the potential exposure to toxic elements. Additionally, there are questions about whether Appeal locks in nutrients, as well as the impact of this coating on the overall food system and local farming.
