Do you know your produce labels?

Those little stickers on produce tell you a lot. For most of us, it has become increasingly important to know if you produce is conventional, organic, or genetically modified. We mentioned this last year in our blog, but once again, here are simple tips to discern their origins:

• Organic produce has a five digit number that begins with 9 (for example, 94060 for broccoli).
• Conventionally grown produce always has a four digit code.
• Genetically modified produce has a five digit number that begins with 8.

Memorize this!
