DO YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE STICKERS ON YOUR FRUITS AND VEGGIES MEANS?

Sticker labels on fruits actually tell you how the fruits were grown- whether organically grown or conventionally grown with pesticides and herbicides and 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
**This is good to know because stores aren't obligated to tell you if a fruit has been genetically modified.

Okay, so if you come across an apple in the store and has a sticker label 4922, it's conventional apple grown with herbicides and pesticides.

If it has a sticker 99222, it's organic and safe to eat.

If it says 89222, then RUN!!! It has been genetically modified. GMO)

So next time you go shopping, remember make your choices on what to buy.
