On all produce there some numbers on a small sticker .
What do the numbers on fruit and veggies mean in the grocery store?
A little education on the numbers:
Four digit numbers starting with 3 or 4 mean:
non-GMO, conventionally grown
Five digit numbers starting with 8 mean:
the produce is GMO
Five digit numbers beginning with 9 mean:
organically grown
Which one is the best?
USDA organically grown/local: best
Conventional: 2nd best
GMO : not enough research done on genetically modified organisms.
However; animals, if given the choice will not eat it...hmmmm...sound scary? Well, I will post the research I have found soon.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this information. I was delighted to find out that the apple I just bought is a 4 and not an 8! I'll always remember this helpful hint!
