I need to set the record straight about those viral videos claiming "Organipeel" is now coating all your organic produce because it's completely false, and I accidentally contributed to the misinformation.

In today's episode, I'm doing something super fun: admitting I was wrong. A few weeks ago when those viral reels started spreading panic about Organipeel being approved for certified organic produce, people asked me to look into it. I did my research, found it registered with the EPA and listed on the OMRI website, and confirmed it was "real." But I didn't dig deep enough.

Here's what I missed: Organipeel was only ever approved as a post-harvest fungicide (not a coating). It was never approved for use on raw produce, and was actually discontinued in 2023. The company doesn't even make it anymore. So all that panic about a "new" coating on organic produce? It was based on old, irrelevant information.

But here's what IS true: there are waxes on your organic produce, and there have been for years. I'm breaking down what those actually are: organic carnauba wax from Brazilian palm plants, beeswax, and sometimes shellac (yes, insect wax). I'm also touching on why they're used to replace the natural wax that gets washed off during processing. If you want truly wax-free produce, you're going to need to befriend your local farmer.

In this episode, we're chatting about:

• The Organipeel myth breakdown

• What's actually on your organic produce

• My research mistake

• Getting truly wax-free produce
