PSA: Identifying Genetically Modified Foods

To identify foods that may or may not be labelled (the FDC does not require labeling of genetically modified foods), check the code on the PLU sticker:

#### - four digit code; conventionally grown with chemical inputs
9#### - five digit code starting with 9; organically grown
8#### - five digit code starting with 8; genetically modified foods

-- from Knowledge Is Power

And an update... according to other sources, the codes are entirely voluntary, and as consumers have indicated they will avoid GMO foods if they can, no one wants to use the 8... codes.

So much for that!
