  1. Ahhhh shut up, go suck a muffler pipe you pawn.

  2. I always knew there was something wrong with eating apples so far out of season from Feb to June, the following year. There isn’t an apple grown in the US that can last much pass Dec. of the previous year.

    1. An Arkansas Red is a late bloomer, and picked right from the tree in Oct. can last maybe until Feb the following year, before getting mushy.
      We need to stop these food cartels in the US from ruining our food and our health with all these chemicals.
      At least Europe is doing something about it.

  3. Nitrosamines, the chemical mention above, are chemical compounds, most
    of which are carcinogenic, and are produced when the food preservative
    nitrite combines with amino acids in the stomach. There appears to be a
    link between increased levels of nitrates in the environment and in
    food and increased deaths from Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Type 2
    diabetes; by Ray Sahelian, M.D

  4. Studies showing evidence of harm of chemicals are “of little value.” That is quite likely why the apple industry was only able to respond with one study (and that one didn’t even show safety!) It would be “of great value” to show that this chemical is not harmful – America has lost a large export market for an important crop by being unable to demonstrate safety of this chemical, rest assured that were this chemical safe for consumption studies proving this would be well-funded by the apple industry! The EU operates on a precautionary principle, they are far more concerned with the health of their residents and environment than is North America.

  5. @Rumplestiltskin;
    So what chemical company do you work for?

  6. I just bought a bag of perfect little organic apples. Are organic apples coated with this junk too?
