I saw a video on the Yahoo! Homepage a few days ago that said the wax used on apples is corn-based, does this mean it is not hazardous to us?

Also it can be a mineral oil or carnuba wax, which is actually a resin with a waxy feel, it is edible, and is used on fruit even candys, look at the label on a bag of M&M candys.

I am a former chef and worked in retail grocery store my last few years in the business either with the deli dept or produce clerk.

Beeswax and parrafin are the two most common.
