Fruit Labels - Read the Numbers on Your Fuits

I received this informstion from a friend, and thought I should share the information.

The email says that sticker labels on the fruits actually tell you how the fruits have been grown, whether they were organically grown or conventionally grown with pesticides and herbicides; oh, and let's not forget about the genetically engineered fruits.

Conventional Fruit Labels Four digits and does not start with 9 ** mostly starting with the digit 4
Organic Fruit Labels Five digits and starts with number 9
Genetically Modified Fruits Start with the digit 8 So next time you go shopping, remember these critical numbers and know how to avoid purchasing inorganic and GMO fruits. Shop Safe :)

This is good to know because stores aren't obligated to tell you if a fruit has been genetically modified (grrr¡Â­..)

Okay, so if you come across an apple in the store and it's label is 4922, it's an conventional apple grown with herbicides and harmful fertilizers. If it has a sticker 99222, it's organic and safe to eat. If it says 89222, then RUN!!!! I t has been genetically modified (GMO).

Ahhh... so that's what the numbers are for.

Oh, also don't forget to wash your fruits with salt water, it helps to get rid of residual pesticides and invisible insects (if any..)
