You can use the numbers to figure out how the produce you’re buying has been grown. A sticker with four digits means the food was conventionally grown. Five digits starting with an 8 indicate genetically engineered produce (the food’s genetic material has been altered), and five digits starting with a 9 means the food was organically grown (without the use of most conventional pesticides or synthetic fertilizers). Don’t worry if you can’t remove all the sticker adhesive–it’s required to be safe to eat.
