For that reason, the treatment on fruits of which the peels are not consumed is not liable to have an effect on human health. It is therefore appropriate to allow the use of beeswax (E 901), carnauba wax (E 903), shellac (E 904) and microcrystalline wax (E 905) on such fruits that are mainly imported from countries with a tropical climate, i.e. bananas, mangoes, avocados, pomegranates, papayas and pineapples.
