I don’t know if this is the right thread but thought I’d post this for those who don’t know.
When buying produce at the grocerty store, check the numbers by the bar code or on the little sticker. You’ll see a 4-5 digit code. If the digits begin with “8” it was grown from GMO/GE seeds. If it begins with “9” then it was grown organically. If it’s a four digit code then pesticides were used on it.
Countries also have codes:
00 – 09 USA & Canada
30 – 37 France
40 – 44 Germany
471 Taiwan
480 Philippines
489 Hong Kong
49 Japan
50 UK
690 - 692 China
740 - 745 Central America
880 South Korea
885 Thailand
888 Vietnam
890 India
899 Indonesia
930 - 939 Australia
955 Malaysia
