Apeel Discontinues Organic Approved Organipeel

Apeel was not just approved for organic produce. Apeel Sciences made two food coatings, Edipeel for conventional produce and Organipeel for organic produce. In 2019, Organipeel was approved by the EPA and the Organic Materials Review Institute as an organic fungicide. People are mistaking that Organipeel was just approved, which is old news. In fact, Apeel has since discontinued Organipeel and is working on new formulations for USDA organic growers. No Apeel food coatings are currently approved or in the market for organic produce. I confirmed this with the OMRI yesterday.
Edipeel is still allowed for conventional non-organic produce in the US including avocados, limes, oranges, mandarins, grapefruits, and lemons. The vast majority of produce at the grocery store is coated with insect based, petroleum based, or plant based food coatings, not Apeel. The best bet to remove Apeel or any type of food coating is using vinegar and water and scrubbing with a vegetable brush or cloth.

Germinated right away and already growing fast!
After just a couple of days, my seeds for Summer squash are popping out of the dirt, healthy and green! I’m thrilled with all the seeds I have purchased from My Health Forward. They all are happily growing! I will definitely order again!!
Ive already got seeds sprouting indoors. I ordered a lot of seeds and my order was fullfilled perfectly. Thank you!
I trust My Health Forward for my seed purchased. 100%
Seeds sprouted in 5 days or less super exciting stuff impeccable service
Thank you for all the work that you do in providing access to heirloom seeds and upholding food sovereignty and sustainability practices :)
Cannot wait to purchase more seeds, I’m a horticulturist and I’ve been looking for someone to purchase heirloom seeds from, and I finally found the place! No damage to the packaging whatsoever the package was sealed tight and they love how the seeds were packed so cute! Can’t wait to start sowing my seeds!
I’m beyond impressed with My Health Forward’s Heirloom “Small Cherry Red Tomato” Seeds! Within just 6 days of planting indoors in containers, I already have vibrant little plants springing up. These seeds germinated so much faster than any standard seeds I’ve tried before.
I’m thrilled to see such promising growth and can’t wait to get these plants ready for the upcoming spring season. If you're looking for high-quality seeds that deliver quick and reliable results, these are a must-have for your garden. Highly recommend!
It's only been a few days and my seeds are already starting to sprout! I can't wait to taste these delicious lettuce heads!
Can't wait and see the results! The seeds look healthy and the package arrived in a short time
Ordering was easy and reasonably priced. Will order again.
