In the EU only stuff that is proven safe can be used on edibles. Since that is apparently not the case yet, it is limited to stuff that you don't eat the peel of

No, the substances in question are already approved for edibles. I think the issue is that additives are not allowed on produce, because the Swedish Livsmedelsverket phrases it in a way that implies such to me.

"Får användas i nästan alla livsmedel som får innehålla tillsatser." "May be used in nearly all foods for which additives are allowed." I think it's reasonable that there's probably a regulation about not having additives in things people are assuming will be natural. I mean, how would you post allergy warnings on a peach?
