maintains quality and slows spoilage.
USING FOOD TO PRESERVE FOOD
Our product is OMRI listed, and allowed for

powder, then mixed with
water and applied in
packinghouses with the help
of our global workforce.
HOW APEEL
IS APPLIED

7. We are meeting the
needs of millions of
consumers thanks to
40 retailers across
11 countries, selling
Apeel produce across
more than twenty
thousand locations.

8. INTEGRATED WITH GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS
We work with suppliers at source or
upon import to make sure retailers in
North America and Europe can access
Apeel-protected produce year-round.

Even with Apeel intervention,
active participation from supply
