GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD LABEL STARTS WITH AN 8
- LEARN TO READ THE NUMBERS ON YOUR FOOD
Date: Wednesday, 10 September 2008

Genetically Modified starts with an 8! Read the Numbers on Your Fruit I learned that sticker labels on the fruits actually tell you how thefruits have been grown - whether they were organically grown or conventionally grown withpesticides and herbicides; oh, and let's not forget about the genetically engineered fruits.

Conventional Fruit Labels
Four digits (does not start with 9 )
**mostly starting with the digit 4
.........................................................
Organic Fruit Labels
Five digits and starts with number 9
........................................................

Genetically Modified
Fruit Start with the digit 8


If you come across an apple in the store and its label's 4922, it's a 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 RUN!!!! It has been genetically modified(GMO).

** this is good to know because stores aren't obligated to tellyou if a fruit has been genetically modified.

So next time you go shopping, remember these critical numbersand know how to avoid purchasing inorganic and GMO fruits.
