Michelle Pfeiffer slams Bill Gates

Actress Michelle Pfeiffer is criticizing tech billionaire Bill Gates.

Pfeiffer is taking a stand on the future of produce in America and calling out Bill Gates in the process.

In a rare move for the movie star, Pfeiffer posted about Apeel, a company that makes protective coatings for fruits and vegetables that received a research grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Pfeiffer reposted a short video post that read, “Organic produce is no longer safe. Bill Gates’ Apeel just got approved for USDA-certified organic.”

The “Batman Returns” star added her own comments, saying, “Apeel (an edible, plant-based coating designed to extend the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables) was just approved and now "organic" produce is coated in something we cannot see or wash off.”

“Very concerning,” she added.

She also shared a list of stores that have confirmed they do not sell products using Apeel.

Apeel was initially founded in 2012 with the help of a $100,000 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

However, the Gates’ are no longer involved in Apeel, which has received extensive additional backing from venture capitalist Andreessen Horowitz, according to The Daily Mail.

According to Apeel’s website, the coating is made from “Non-GMO, responsibly-sourced plant oils” that “are distilled into purified mono- and diglycerides that we use to create an additional edible layer, or peel, on fresh produce to help keep moisture in and oxygen out. These naturally occurring, fatty acid-based ingredients are found in plant peels, regular dietary fats, and everyday foods, and they have a long history of safe consumption.”
