I'm pretty sure that produce stickers are safe to consume (and thus biodegradable), at least in the US: https://www.advantagelabel.com/products-services/prime-label... (couldn't find a better source)

Safe to consume doesn't mean biodegradable, likely it passes right through you.

Goobingling around I see a few biodegradable produce stickers marketed as "not like those other nonbiodegrable produce stickers" but that's not conclusive either.

If they are surviving commercial composting (high temperature) they are not biodegradable.
