Can artificial apples be eaten?

Male  25 years old 2018-06-18
The apple I bought has been kept for half a month, but there is no change at all. I feel it is artificially waxed. Can I eat artificially waxed apples?

    This "artificial fruit wax" is actually a chitosan substance, mostly extracted from crustaceans such as crabs and shells. This substance itself is not harmful to the body, its role is mainly used to keep fresh, to prevent apples from rot and deterioration during long-distance transportation and long-term storage.
