Apeel Reveal Act of 2025

This legislation proposes to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by introducing new labeling requirements for certain produce. Its primary goal is to ensure consumers are informed when fruits and vegetables have been treated with specific product coatings designed to extend their shelf life. The bill mandates that any fruit or vegetable bearing a covered product coating must include labeling that discloses its use, otherwise it will be considered misbranded . A covered product coating is defined as any substance directly applied to extend shelf life, explicitly including products from Apeel Sciences such as Edipeel and Organipeel. To facilitate compliance, the Secretary of Health and Human Services is directed to issue guidance on the required disclosure within 180 days of the Act's enactment. The new labeling requirement for misbranding will become applicable to fruits and vegetables labeled one year after the bill is signed into law.
