SHOCKING: Your "fresh" supermarket fruits might be OVER A YEAR OLD! They're GASSING them with TOXIC "SmartFresh" – a petroleum-based chemical – just to extend shelf life & boost profits! Carcinogenic & genotoxic, yet approved to use on 12 fruits including tomatoes, apples, pears, persimmons, plums, cherimoyas, kiwis, peaches, melons, mangoes, limes & avocados, with more uses planned. Many fruits/veggies are treated with 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene) to delay ripening for up to a year. - Sold as SmartFresh (post-harvest), Harvista (orchards), RipeLock (bananas) by AgroFresh – used in US + 40+ countries. - Blocks ethylene to keep produce firm & fresh-looking longer, reducing waste but extending storage/sales. - Key concern: Two impurities (1-CMP & 3-CMP) are genotoxic & carcinogenic – early reports flagged classification. - Pure 1-MCP gas can be explosive in high concentrations if warmed in closed containers (per old EFSA review).
