Reply to comment by Foxs-In-A-Trenchcoat in 60% of US foods Contain technical food additives, new study finds by diosmio

60% seems really low. That leaves produce, some fresh meats and even fewer dairy.

Fruit waxing is the process of covering fruits (and, in some cases, vegetables) with artificial waxing material. Natural wax is removed first, usually by washing, followed by a coating of a biological or petroleum derived wax

They also use just wax, wax with shellac, or just shellac.
