What do the numbers on fruit labels mean? 

  • Organic- Five digit number beginning with a "9"
  • Genetically Modified- Five digit number beginning with an "8"
  • Conventional- Four digit number beginning with a "3" or "4"


Conventional means it was grown with weed killers and chemical pesticides
