If You See This Label On a Fruit, DO NOT Buy It At Any Cost. Here’s Why!

Have you noticed labels or stickers on certain veggies and fruits. Do you know what they actually mean? 

This is information about the way the fruit was grown.

It can tell whether the fruit or veggie was organically grown, genetically modified, or contains pesticides, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, etc...

Here's what you need to know:

- A 4-digit code, which starts with the number 3 or 4 shows that the produce has pesticides. Moreover, it also indicates that the fruit or veggie were conventionally grown.

– In case the sticker has a code with 5 digits beginning with the number 3, it shows that the fruit or veggie were irradiated or electronically pasteurized.

– If the sticker has a PLU code with 5 digits that start with the number 8, it means that the produce was genetically modified. 

– In case the PLU code begins with the number 6, it suggests that the produce was pre-cut.

- If the sticker has a 5-digit PLU code, which starts with the number 9, then it means that the produce is grown according to the USDA organic standards. In other words, it means that the produce is organically grown.
