produce labeling

[Guest guest]

did you know this:

 

General designation is as follows:

a.. Organic produce has a five-digit number beginning with a 9. Organic

bananas, for example, would be given the designation of 94011.

a.. Conventional produce has a four-digit number beginning with a 3 or 4.

Therefore, the number on conventionally grown bananas would be 4011.

 

a.. Genetically engineered produce also has a five-digit number on the label

and begins with an 8. Again, the number on genetically altered bananas would be

84011

I knew about this and today asked the young man at the produce isle in Kroger

if he knew and he said , " it means nothing, just a purchasing code "

He needs to do his homework
