<p>not sure what countries this is true in... if any... may be a hoax</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;Just got this in email. Is it true? from http://plantea.com apparently.&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> By reading the little stickers on fresh produce, you can tell if the<br /> fruit was genetically modified, organically grown or produced with<br /> chemical fertilizers, fungicides, or herbicides.<br /> Here&#039;s how: For conventionally grown fruit (grown with chemical inputs),<br /> the PLU code on the sticker consists of four numbers. Organically grown<br /> fruit has a five-numeral PLU prefaced by the number 9. Genetically<br /> engineered (GM) fruit has a five-numeral PLU prefaced by the number 8.<br /> For example, a conventionally grown banana would be: 4011, an organic<br /> banana would be: 94011, a genetically engineered (GE or GMO) banana would<br /> be: 84011<br /> <br /> The adhesive used to attach the stickers is considered food-grade, but the sticker itself is not.</div>
