Fruit – do you think additives are consumed with non organic fruit?

QUESTION:

Do you think additives are consumed with non organic fruit?

ANSWER:

Yes they can be. They are most likely to be processing aids if there are. These do not need to be declared. The types of additives that I would expect to see would be your wax additives – such as:

E903 Carnauba wax and
E901 Beeswax

These additives are both often used to surface treat fruits and vegetables.

Ideally, best to go to your farmers markets and ask them directly if anything has been applied to the fruit and veggies.
