Organic, modified, or conventional fruit Mark Unseen   May 29 21:40 UTC 2008

Received this tip from my Aunt:
If you are concerned about buying genetically modified foods without knowing
it, here is the way to tell:
        Look for the labels stuck on your fruits and veggies:
            * A four-digit number means it's conventionally grown
            * A five-digit number beginning with 9 means it's organic
            * A five-digit number beginning with 8 means it's genetically
modified



(I've fact checked this on numerous sources and it appears to be legit)

None of the fruits and vegetables at the market have numbers on them.  I could
ask the growser.

Are you talking about the farmer's market? Do they have fruit and
vegetables yet. Last time I went it was all flowers.
