Did you know?


Okay, so what did I learn?
I learned 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
