Interesting information on supermarket codes

  • invisiblechef 16 years ago
    I came across this and since this and think it is important to share.
    You know those little stickers on your produce
    (PLU CODES) Not only do they reveal how much the produce costs, but get this if the number is like this:

    5 digits, starting with 8 Then you know the produce was genetically modified.

    5 digits, starting with 9 means the produce was grown organically.

    4 digits means, the produce was grown conventionally, meaning neither organic nor genetically modified.

    Marie you are a gift to those who want to know the consumer facts about what they eat.

    I always learn something new. Why can't our government be straight with us.

    Thank you for this post
