You know those annoying little stickers you have to peel off your fruit? Well they are ACTUALLY super-secret code that we were probably never meant to decifer….but guess what? It is the 21st Century and it is time to stop looking the other way and ask “Why is this sticker on my apple?”
The sticker is there my friends to tell you:
1) I am clean to eat
A five digit code starting with “9″ means the product was organically grown (that’s right organically!!!)
so 9-4-2-0-3 = GOOD FOR ME
2) Enjoy me, I am covered in tons of pesticides and other things you can’t pronounce
Produce that is conventionally grown with synthetic pesticides, etc. is a 4 digit number starting with a 4 as in 4265
& 3) (This is my favorite) I have been tampered with and I am GMO’s…Gentically Modified My friends!!
A five digit code starting with “8″ means the product is genetically modified (can we all say LAME Mr. Fruit Grower! I feed this stuff to my babies!!!)
