Oh the corny stories your produce is telling!

Did you know that by simply looking at your produce, you can tell if it's organic or genetically modified?  It's very simple, actually.  The clues are in the price look up (PLU) code, which is the number you key in during checkout for every piece of produce.

A regular PLU code has 4 numbers.  That means it is not organic, and it is not genetically modified. 

Organic produce comes with a 5-digit PLU code.  The first of those numbers is 9, as you see here.

Genetically modified produce also comes with a 5-digit PLU code.  The first of those numbers is 8.



Next time you go to the grocery store, try it for yourself!  I'm curious to hear from anyone who does, if the awareness changes your buying habits...
