VERY INTERESTING INFORMATION

 

I didn't know until I read it that the little stickers on loose

fruits and vegetables have valuable information on them! According

to a letter from a scientist knowledgeable in the field of

genetically modified organisms (GMOs)' in the October 2003 issue of

Gourmet magazine:

 

" A useful tip to the consumer [would be] a primer on how to read the

little stickers on loose fruits and vegetables. Besides providing

the store's cash registers and computers with product identification

and price information, these stickers can tell you a lot about the

food you are buying. A label with four digits indicates

conventionally grown food. Labels with five digits starting with an

8 indicate that the food is genetically modified. Labels with 5

digits starting with a 9 indicate that the food is organically

grown. "

 

Well as soon as I read this I looked at all my little stickers and

it's true! All my organic food had stickers with 5 digits beginning

with 9 and all the conventional food had stickers with four digits.

There were no five digits beginning with 8, nor do I plan for there

to be, but what a great thing to know! Am I the last one to know

this?
