insect resin on fruit

Headline from Serious Eats that popped up in my Facebook feed:

You're likely consuming insect resin every time you chomp down on an apple, peach, and many other fruits. That's right: Many of your favorite fruits and vegetables are coated in a wax derived from the resin of several species of scale insects from the family Kerriidae.

I looked it up and even organic produce can have insect resin: Yes, organic fruits can be coated with insect resin (shellac) because it's a natural substance allowed under organic standards, often used to enhance shine and preservation, though it might be combined with vegetable waxes; it's considered safe but can be an unpleasant surprise if you're not expecting bug-derived products on your organic produce.
