Some Facts about Stickers on Fruit

As you probably know there are tiny stickers on almost all fruit; along with the bar code for check out, there is a number code.

A sticker with just four digits means the fruit was conventionally grown (think pesticides, herbicides, etc.) Some stickers have the country where the fruit was grown too.

Organic fruits have a five digit number beginning with a "9".

Genetically Modified fruits begin with an "8".

Therefore an organic banana would say 94011 while a genetically modified banana would say 84011. And you thought you only had to read labels on packaged foods!
