Building a World With Greater Access to Fresh Produce

About us

Apeel's evolving technology stack is built on an unprecedented understanding of produce quality and shelf life. This has only deepened as the use of data and technology have given partners a powerful way to accurately and efficiently evaluate produce for ripeness, freshness, and other attributes. Apeel is developing science-backed, technology-supported solutions that help improve the produce experience on shelf.

  • Better food systems start with better information. Apeel Sciences operates within one of the most regulated food environments in the world, with plant-based products reviewed and permitted by regulators across the U.S., the European Union, and global markets. That scientific and regulatory foundation helps replace confusion with clarity and fear with facts. When consumers, partners, and policymakers have access to reliable information, trust grows and innovation can do what it’s meant to do: reduce waste and improve access to fresh food. #FoodSystems #FoodInnovation #Transparency #FoodPolicy #GoodThroughFood

  • Fresh food runs on timing. When timing breaks, access breaks. Too much food is lost before it ever reaches shelves or tables, creating ripple effects across pricing, availability, and system reliability. Food waste is not a consumer issue. It’s a systems failure that affects farmers, retailers, and families alike. Apeel Sciences applies plant-based protection to extend freshness safely, offering a modern alternative to legacy post-harvest methods like chlorine and wax. The result is less loss, more food in circulation, and stronger access across the food system. #FoodAccess #FoodSystems #FoodTech #GoodThroughFood

  • Food is fuel for health, focus, and performance. Many people are thinking more intentionally about what they put into their bodies and why. When fresh food is lost too soon, it disrupts nutrition, consistency, and momentum. Apeel products help protect food naturally, preserving freshness and key nutrients so families can make informed, intentional choices they can sustain. Better food systems make better decisions possible. 🌱 #Wellness #FoodSystems #FoodInnovation #FoodQuality #GoodThroughFood #IntentionalChoices

  • Across our channels, people are sharing how extended freshness creates real value at home: fewer trips to the store, less waste, more access to healthy food, and more efficient use of time and money. These authentic voices highlight what our work is all about: practical solutions that support families, reduce shrink, strengthen supply chains, and help nutritious food reach more people. If you’ve had an experience with longer-lasting produce, we’d love to hear your perspective. Together, we can make #OneMoreDay a driver of efficiency, access, and positive impact across the food system. 🌱 #Sustainability #FoodWasteReduction #Innovation #Freshness #Efficiency #Access #ApeelSciences

  • A new year is an opportunity to rethink not just personal habits, but the systems that shape everyday outcomes. Today, American households waste nearly one-third of the food they purchase — roughly $1,500 per year. This isn’t a consumer failure. It’s a system-level challenge that impacts affordability, access, and resilience across the food supply. At Apeel, we believe better systems unlock better outcomes. By applying plant-based food technology after harvest, we help fresh food last longer, move more reliably through the system, and deliver more value to families and growers alike. Here’s to a year built on better decisions — and a more abundant food system that works for everyone. 🌱

  • We are proud to share that Jenny Du, Apeel’s co-founder, was named one of TED’s Most Popular Speakers of 2025. Her talk, “The science of making fruits and veggies last longer,” reached millions and helped bring global awareness to the impact of food waste and the power of plant-based innovation. Congratulations Jenny, and thank you for leading with clarity, compassion, and science.

  • Every leader has an early spark. For James, Apeel’s Founder, it was a dusty old microscope at a garage sale. His grandmother encouraged him to negotiate for it — a moment that combined scientific curiosity with real-world entrepreneurial learning. That microscope opened a doorway into the invisible world of cells and structures, inspiring a lifelong fascination with the systems that make nature work. Years later, those same instincts shaped Apeel: a company built on using nature’s own materials to reduce waste and create abundance. Innovation begins long before the labs — often in the moments that shape who we become. #Leadership #FounderStory #Innovation #Sustainability #GoodThroughFood
