Digit Code & Stickers on Fruit




naklejki-na-owocachI was shocked when I found out what the small stickers on fruit mean. Up to today I thought that it was just an irrelevant detail!


1. If the code on the fruit is four digits and starts from the numbers 3 or 4 then it means that the product comes from a cultivation from the II half of the XX century, using artificial fertilizers.
2. If the fruit has a sticker with a five digit code starting from the number 9, then it means that it was cultivated in a traditional way, known for thousands of years, without pesticides or fertilizer. Today it’s a product that we call ecological.
3. If the sticker has a five digit long code and starts from the number 8 then that means that the fruit is genetically modified. It’s simply GMO!
