In The Daily Mail last week, they ran a story regarding supermarkets that stored fruit and veg for up to one year before putting them on the sale. Fruit and veg are exposed to a chemical called SmartFresh -"SmartFresh works using a sugar-based powder containing the active ingredient 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). This is mixed with tap water, releasing the chemical into the air inside the sealed, chilled warehouse or container."
Just wondering how other diabetics felt about this practice. Should there be stickers indicating the sugar-based coating? Should there be independent nutritional tests done to see what happens to the produce after a year in this chemical?
