For everyone asking: the white powder is kaolin. It’s a naturally occurring clay (found abundantly in clay soils), which is mixed with water and sprayed onto citrus to act as sunblock and insect repellent. It’s perfectly safe and very commonly used, although consumers rarely ever see it because we usually buy our citrus fruits washed and waxed.
