Is this apple orgainic??? You know those annoying little stickers found on every piece of produce in the markets? Reading them will give important information
The following info was posted in the Chef area, but thought it valuble for public viewing. Thank you Sarah for gathering the info.
"Conventionally grown fruits and vegetables have 4 digit numbers, and generally start with a 3 or a 4; organically grown fruits and vegetables have 5 digits and start with a 9; genetically modified produce also have 5 digits and begin with an 8. For example, the PLU for a conventionally grown banana is 4011; an organic banana is coded 94011; and a genetically modified banana is 84011."
