FRUIT LABELS

Conventional Fruit Labels
Four digits and does not start with 9 and mostly starting with the digit 4 or 3

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
This is good to know because stores aren't obligated to tell you if a fruit has been genetically
modified

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 leave it cause its been genetically modified !
