California-based Apeel Sciences responded to a bill (H.R. 4737) proposing ingredient disclosure for its plant-based coating, Edipeel, amid health concerns. Apeel supports transparency and complies with labeling laws, listing ingredients like baking soda and mono- and diglycerides online. The company clarified it has no ties to Bill Gates after misinformation spread online. The bill has a low chance of enactment and Apeel welcomes further food safety discussions.
