Alerty - Avoid Fruits with Label 8XXX

Note the Numbers on the Fruit Label

Keep away from No. 8XXX…

Note the #s on the Fruit Label


1. Conventional Fruit Labels Four digits starting with 4

2. Organic Fruit Labels Five digits and starts with number 9

3. Genetically Modified Fruits Start with the digit 8


So next time you go shopping, remember these critical numbers and know how to avoid purchasing inorganic and GMO fruits. Shop Safe :
This is good to know because stores aren't obligated to tell you if a fruit has been genetically modified.

So if you come across an apple in the store and it's label is 4922, it's a conventional apple grown with herbicides and harmful fertilizers.

If it has a sticker 99222, it's organic and safe to eat.

If it says 89222, then do not buy!!!! It has been genetically modified (GMO).
