Here are 7 secrets supermarkets hide according to MoneyWise:

1. Fruit covered with wax

To attract the attention of customers, all fruit and vegetables in supermarkets must be kept fresh. It turns out that there is a trick to getting fresh fruit all the time.

There is the use of wax or wax-like material to coat the outer surface of the fruit which is placed on supermarket shelves. But don’t worry, this wax will not be absorbed by the body or if you want it to be safer you can peel it before consuming it.

2. Foods derived from reconditioned materials

The Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) as the drug and food regulator in the United States states that some foods are made with reconditioned ingredients. This is done to minimize the food waste that the factory has failed to produce.

Foods that differ in texture or taste from the established standards will not be discarded. The food will be reworked to regulate its texture and taste again and then marketed through the packages found in supermarkets.

3. Carbon monoxide in meat

Beef, chicken and fish are all air and oxygen sensitive ingredients. Exposure to oxygen or oxidation even when in the package will make these ingredients blue and no longer fresh.

To outsmart this, it turns out that the supermarket will replace oxygen with carbon monoxide in order to prevent oxidation in fresh meat. Although it has been cleared by the FDA since 2004, it turns out that countries like Canada and Japan prohibit this practice from being carried out.
