Codes

Ever wonder what the numbers mean on your fruits and vegetables? I’ve never seen any grocery store having an explanation. Here’s what an immigrant, having confusion about USA foods, passed on to me:
5 digit: 9-xxxx. Organic
5 digit: 8-xxxx. GMO or GE has genes from other
organisms. (most USA corn and soybeans)
4 digit:  xxxx. Conventionally grown, has pesticides.

Now we have numbers on plastic.  Ever wonder what they mean?  The naturalsociety.com website explains them under the News heading.  Briefly, don’t store your heated food in #3, 6, or 7.
