Can I fuss once more ?
 
I hate those l little stickers that is now being placed on thin skinned fruit such as apples, peaches , plums and the sort ! I like to wash my fruit immediately after purchase, not being sure how many hands have touched the fruit I just purchased. M:undecided::undecided:y fruit then sits on the counter with torn skin spots the exact size of the sticker.

Fresh produce can have been anywhere and is the cause of a number of food borne illnesses, from being watered with dirty water and who knows where the pickers paws have been...... but if your immune system isn't challenged than you should be o.k.

I do understand. It gives me pause too.

I must have the touch. They peel right off for me.

And the stickers too? Why not as long as the fruit is clean?

Could you leave the stickers on when you wash them?

Some people think they're actually made to eat.

They're not.

Stickers NOT made to eat

Moreover, the stickers are (by all accounts) not intended for general consumption: they don’t taste good, and folks of all ages have inadvertently choked on fruit stickers (which undoubtedly pose a higher choking risk to babies and toddlers). It’s true that consuming a fruit sticker isn’t likely to kill you, but the claim they’re “edible” isn’t precisely correct.

Those Little Sticky Things
 
Evidently I did something wrong when I posted this issue yesterday. Let me try again because this really bums me out. I hate those little sticky doo dads that wholesalers put on fruit and vegetables, especially fruit with thin skins. Who knows how many hands have handled my newly purchased fruit. I wash them almost immediately. Of course those sticky things have to be removed and this is where I take issue. Right now my peaches, plums and nectarenes sit on my counter, each with a piece of skin missing the size of a sticker.

I think those little sticky things are there so they don't charge you for McIntosh when you bought Granny Smith.
