Is This True About Imported Apples by miqos02(m): 5:58pm On Feb 13, 2017 |
I got a video from a whatsapp group showing that if this apple is scratched with a razor blade, A wax like solid is extracted in the process raising suspicion that a chemical is added to the fruit to increase the shelf life. There is a need for Nafdac to investigate this. Cc.. Seun, lalasticlala, pavore

It's probably a protective coating used to preserve the apples so they don't rot during shipping. They don't expect you to eat the peel, I think. 1 Like 2 Shares |
