Read the Numbers on the Stickers Your Fruit

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 they start with the number 4

Organic Fruit Labels
Five digits and they start with the number 9

Genetically Modified Fruit
They start with the number 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 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).

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

Shop Safely :)
