Produce stickers and labels hold a lot more information than simply the cute name or slogan of a fruit of veggie. By reading the sticker number, you can actually confirm if the piece of produce you hold in your hand is organic, not organic and/or genetically modified.
How?
Notice that the labels on fruits and veggies will have a 4 or 5 digit code.
• If your produce has 4 digits, it means that it was "conventionally grown, but not organic".
• If it has 5 digits, and begins with a 9, it means that the produce was organically grown.
• A 5 digit code that begins with an 8 indicates that the produce was genetically modified.
For example, the kiwi in the photo above has a code "4030"
So, this kiwi is not organic, but conventionally grown. It is NOTgenetically modified.
The same is true for the melon with the number: "4317"
If an apple sticker said "96584" it would have been grown organically. An apple with "86584" would be genetically altered.
