I 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!
When going to the store, most of us decide to buy some fresh fruit. Their beautiful appearance and smell tempt us so much that we put them in the cart without even thinking twice. On most of them you can find small stickers which we don’t think of as important, but we should!
They are made from edible paper and are found not only on exotic fruits such as bananas or oranges, but also on our domestic apples or pears. Usually they contain the name of the producer of importer, country of origin, or a PLU bar code. Have you ever wondered what those numbers stand for? If you don’t already know, you’ll find an explanation – check next page.
Although they seem like a nuisance, the stickers or labels attached to fruit and some vegetables have more of a function than helping scan the price at the checkout stand. The PLU code, or price lookup number printed on the sticker, also tells you how the fruit was grown. By reading the PLU code, you can tell if the fruit was genetically modified, organically grown or produced with chemical fertilizers, fungicides, or herbicides.
Here are the basics of what you should know:
If there are only four numbers in the PLU, this means that the produce was grown conventionally or “traditionally” with the use of pesticides. The last four letters of the PLU code are simply what kind of vegetable or fruit. An example is that all bananas are labeled with the code of 4011.
If there are five numbers in the PLU code, and the number starts with “8”, this tells you that the item is a genetically modified fruit or vegetable. Genetically modified fruits and vegetables trump being organic. So, it is impossible to eat organic produce that are grown from genetically modified seeds. A genetically engineered (GE or GMO) banana would be: 84011
If there are five numbers in the PLU code, and the number starts with “9”, this tells you that the produce was grown organically and is not genetically modified. An organic banana would be: 94011
Incidentally, the adhesive used to attach the stickers is considered food-grade, but the stickers themselves aren’t edible.
And here is the full list from the Environmental Working Groups of fruits and vegetables with the least to most pesticides. When shopping, the most important produce to buy organic are those at the bottom of this list http://www.foodnews.org/fulllist.php .
(the group governing the use of PLUs):
http://www.ifpsglobal.com
May I suggest one just needs to ask GOOGLE to provide a list of GMO foods. Keep in mind the most sprayed and harmful will appear first on the list and the least sprayed will continue to end of list. Aim for Organic 2nd half.
The “8” coding was put in ” place” in case labeling ever came in……it has not so this is basically a myth…..stop squinting at little labels trying ro find that 8 because you won’t.
HERE AGAIN IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A DIABOLICAL MINDSET THAT IS FUCKING WITH AND ADULTERATING NATURE’S SUPREME INTELLIGENCE. WE HAVE PROVEN, ( WE=THE ENTIRE HUMAN SPECIES) THAT WE ARE NOT CAPABLE OF LIVING IN HARMONY WITH LIFE AND IT’S INTELLIGENT DESIGN FOR THE PROPAGATION OF ALL SPECIES. PAYBACK IS A MOFO, AND METHINKS THAT THE TAMPERING WITH THE GENETIC STRUCTURE OF DNA/RNA HAS EVEN NOW PUT INTO MOTION AN UNSTOPPABLE MOMENTUM THAT WILL BE THE ULTIMATE BITCH-SLAP FROM PLANET EARTH. AS IN WE BEING EXPENDABLE! SWEET DREAMS.
“TAMPERING WITH THE GENETIC STRUCTURE OF DNA/RNA”
We’ve been doing that for thousands of years, already. Everything you eat is genetically modified, whether through selective breeding, mutagenesis, or gene insertion. The only difference between the first two and the last one is that gene insertion is, far and away, more precise.
I like you. Is that a Babymetal profile pic?
Yes, it is. Huge fan. Looking forward to their new album next month. 🙂
“The 4-digit PLU codes for produce are randomly assigned within a series of numbers within the 3000 and 4000 series. There is no intelligence built into the 4-digit code. For example, no one number within the 4-digit number represents anything in particular. The 4-digit codes are for conventionally grown produce. 5-digit codes are used to identify organic produce. The prefix of ‘9’ would be placed in front of the 4-digit conventionally grown code for organic produce. You will not see the 5-digit codes in the PLU codes database since they are simply prefixes added on to the conventionally grown produce PLU codes.
The PLU coding system is voluntary, not mandate by any governing body. There are currently over 1400 PLU codes issued for fresh produce and produce related items. ”
http://www.ifpsglobal.com/Identification/PLU-Codes
That’s correct Lois Larose. 8 was reserved for GMO in the future, but was never used. The IFPS is going to free up the 8 codes in the near future for use on regular, non-organic items because the varieties are out growing the numbers available. I’m a cashier, so I’m familiar with this. Check here for more information : http://www.ifpsglobal.com/Portals/22/IFPS%20Documents/IFPS.release.July2015.pdf
4011 has been bananas for 25+ years…long before GMO’s, they are just number to identify fruits and veggies so the cash register know what to charge per pound.
8 is GMO
not 4 is pestiside treated
…You know what genetically modified actually means people? It means that the plants were selectively crossbred to achieve the desired traits. Exactly the same reason we have various dog breeds today. A dachshund is still a dog, A GMO tomato is still a tomato. Get over it.
There’s no study outside of those made by ‘anti-GMO’ evangelists that shows even a slight indication that GMO foods have any negative effect to eat. It’s not changing -your- genetics. It’s not changing genetics at all in fact. It’s just selective breeding. No, we do -not- have the technology to make working ‘custom DNA’ and we should stop thinking we do until it’s actually a thing. Do your research. Don’t just believe everything you see in the media.
I don’t normally reply to articles such as this but REALITY CHECk – this is the reality of GMO’s – what you are describing is called a HYBRID plant NOT a GMO plant – big difference – FYI A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of an unrelated plant or animal. The foreign genes may come from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans.
Wrong. GMO is genetic modification by any means, including creating a hybrid. Any time you try to influence the genetics of an organism, it is a Genetically Modified Organism. We have nice techniques today to give more options and more reliability to those that want to create GMOs, but the old methods still produce GMOs.
GMO is a fairly recent term and has a very specific meaning – that the genes themselves have been directly modified by artificial means. Real Reality is correct and I will not repeat his last sentence.
GMO is NOT selective bredding by traditional methods.
We don’t have the ability to make working “custom DNA”? What kind of nonsense is this. We’ve been using recombinant DNA since the 1970’s… stop spewing nonsense. Want the cliff notes? http://www.cliffsnotes.com/study-guides/biology/microbiology/dna-and-gene-expression/recombinant-dna-and-biotechnology
ASS HOLE Genetically Modified so the plant can resist the Poison Pesticides they spray on them and they are the root of all disease including all cancers, and every plague known in the 21st century.. GMO was a lab experiment that was nothing more than making Monsanto and the BIG 10 Agro Pesticide Corporations money. DON’T FUCK WITH MOTHER NATURE because all of the poison sprayed on our produce is poisoning the earth and soon researchers say ONE IN TEN babies that parents eat GMO food will be born with Autism,,,
DO YOUR RESEARCH,, WHY IS THERE 800 SCIENTISTS WANTING THE GOVERNMENT TO BAN ALL GMO FOOD AND PESTICIDES….
your the asshole big!, selective breeding of plants and/or GMO is an attempt by many companies and individuals to produce plants that are resistant to the pests that attack them, thus reducing and/or eliminating the need to use insecticide sprays!. People like you that spread your crap propaganda are doing serious damage to legitimate attempts to make better producing and pest resistant crops, meaning, that hopefully the need for insecticides will be eliminated one day!. To clearly prove your wrong, CSIRO, and many other countries science departments are attempting to create GMO’s!, their not in it for the money, once they produce the GMO they usually release it free of charge to their countries farmers!
Go here Andrew and learn something….GMO’s are poison……http://www.foodrenegade.com/link-between-roundup-ready-gmos-disease/
Go here Andrew and learn something……..roundup-ready-gmos-disease/
does anyone have any insight about using nicotine on corn? GMA, etc?
Thanks
I fail to see how Genetically Modified is the root of all cancer as cancer has been around for thousands of years well before GMO. That being said I hope you do not eat grapefruit since that is a hybrid formed from two citrus plants called sweet orange and pomelo. Only existing on earth for about 300 years now.
Any plant that is older than 20 years old is created from cross pollination, and thus no genetic modification in a lab has taken place!. Plants have been adapting and changing by two distinct ways, cross pollination, and malformation(or in other words a defect in the DNA of the plant that causes a change in the new plant from the old, creating a better plant, or worse that usually dies). Either way is highly unlikely to have any adverse affects on animals at all!. cancer causing chemicals are man made!, although doses of some natural chemicals, such as in tobacco can cause cancer, but that is known, and listed, there is nothing about grapefruit!, only known effect is when taken with pain killers, simple solution is to not take with pain killers!
I ate a grapefruit and died. All my kids are autistic. Their offspring were all malignant tumours that looked like Donald Trump.
Peace out!
Signed David Avocado Wolfe
Wahahaha! Best laugh I’ve had all day! Thanks!!!
Actually grapefruit affects all sorts of medications and Pharmacies have warning stickers to affix to your prescription bottle if this is the case with the medication you have been prescribed. The problem stems from it’s effect on the bodies metabolization of the drug, speeding it up it some cases slowing it in others. Tobacco isn’t a natural chemical it’s a plant, which contains chemicals natural or otherwise, some of which have been shown to cause cancer, and who knows what the cigarette companies add to the tobacco.
Well if Monsanto et al get their way, there will be only food with copyright genes left in the food chain. So they will control the whole food resource of the planet. Why do you think that all their grains produce sterile plants. It’s not a coincidence. They have done this to stop people from saving some of their harvest, to plant the next year. Now they have to buy from them and always will.
GMO has been turned into a money-making scam by the big corporations.
Learn the difference between your and you’re and refrain from swearing. People will probably take more notice of what you have to say.
there is always an asshole spelling nazi isn’t there mike!?
Andrew, I think he may be referring to Big. In any case, you bring a lot to the table with your info.
You forgot the BEES – Bees are dying by the billions because they will not go near GMO plants – so what does this mean? without Bees – we die!
you talk like your well informed but did you ever eat something natural compared to a gmo? your an idiot im sorry, coming from another person that doesn’t believe whatever they see, sorry I cant get over the fact that your a dummy in a dummy civilization
It is not quite true. May be some GMO plants are the effect of selective breeding, but some comes from mixing DNA of plants with the DNA of other species using gen engineering, so it is not quite apple or banana it is mixture of two or more species. But anyway I don’t think GMO could be harmful.
No. It goes beyond crossing beans with beans .https://gmo-awareness.com/all-about-gmos/gmo-defined/
shocked? by a banana?
shocked? or excited?
I would advice everybody to go to Youtube and see everything that Monsanto is doing to all our food. Assuming is not good but seeing all these videos made by specialists in the field will stop all the assumptions. Please go to Youtube and type Monsanto, thanks
I am a produce associate and this is a load of crap. LMAO. People will believe anything these days.
Thank you!! I am so sick of these posts that will prove false in the future. I remember the big scares from years ago about tuna, coffee, and eggs from a few years ago. Our ancestors lived long and healthy lives eating foods in moderation and enjoying EVERYTHING–sugar, flour, white potatoes and bread, meat, fish, carbs, etc. Sorry–Can’t buy into this “Puritan” crap. Enjoy life in moderation.
Ding. Ding. Ding! And we have a winner!!! Very well said.
Somethings have been PROVEN bad for us. Sugar is the worst thing you can eat. That bread that our ancestors ate isn’t the same as the chemical and high fructose corn syrup filled processed crap that is now in the bread aisle. Everything today is highly processed and full of sugar, chemicals and soy.
sugar is not the worst thing you can eat, it is not even bad…refined cane sugar is not good. not everything is full of chemicals and soy either, only cheap crap and a lot of the convenience foods that lazy knobs by.
“not everything is full of chemicals”
Actually, technically, yes, everything is, outside of base elements (hydrogen, nitrogen, etc).
You’re Right Sugar Is not the worst thing that you can eat, I would say that Artificial sweeteners, HFCS, gluten, “natural flavorings” MSG and all those other chemicals that they put in our food is just a little bit worse than sugar.
Ummmm….everything IS full of chemicals. You are, your food is, your house is…water is, salt is.
You really need to get youe facts straight.
I was a cashier at a major grocer’s for 12 years. I rang those codes in and knew them by heart. This is 100% true. I’m not sure why anyone is shocked at this. They’re just codes.
well said.
ahh thank you danki. For me, I am just SO out of the world of produce ins and outs….what those numbers would mean……I wouldn’t know weather to believe it or not! LOL I am starting to disbelieve first now a days on this wonderful net of ours…
I work at a grocery store and to us those numbers represent what we call PLU numbers that the produce dept uses to print labels from the scales and the cashiers uses them at the registers too so they dont have to look up what type of fruit it is if they dont know!
Wow, this is a very interesting discussion to say the least. Personally , “the jury is still out” on the subject however, those that are dead set against GMO’S should not be consuming any form of canola product. Canola is genetically modified rapeseed that is raditionally fed to cattle but is poisonous to humans .
The jury is not “out” on this, the jury presented it’d decision years ago, the only group “out” are hippies and vegans who refuse to accept anything that is totally natural!. So, with a bit of selective breeding and maybe some pushing in the lab, a pest resistant tomato that lasts longer without spoil is “barbaric” to hippies and vegans, but, given a hundred years or so if the same strain of tomato occurred naturally, then the hippies and vegans would be all for it!.
Just for clarification “cyanide” is natural, but I am sure you wont want to eat it. I have personally grown over 100 varieties of heirloom tomatoes in the past 15 years. I have see hybrids for tomatoes but no gmo. what you fail to realize is that has nothing to do with hippies and vegans, it has to do with healthy food, of which I see from your reply you do not understand. by the way some of the tomatoes goes back hundreds of years ago
I’m not sure if you know this but, selective breeding and selective/cross pollination are both methods of creating GMO’s. You are altering the genetics of the plant to make plants with favorable traits like higher crop yields, resistance to pests, and resistance to weather.
Nope IF GMOs were so great Monsanto would not be using gestapo measures to keep going! they are dangerous!
Hippies??!! Not wanting “natural” ? hahaha. Tell that to all my old “hippie” friends, and get their opinion…that’s what they were all about ! You must be a youngster
Just wondering where you got this info? Almost all Canola goes into the vegetable oil market not cattle feed. You should always look into all your sources to see if the study was done by an accreted research lab and been peer reviewed as well as replicated to come up with the same conclusions
Thanks
hey, um sorry to tell u but all canola is feed to cattle. the oil is pressed out of the seed first and what is left behind, (the meal) is then fed to cattle. Just saying.
Canola is certainly not poisonous to humans. I’ve used canola oil extensively in cooking and salad dressings for many many years now. Absolutely no poisonous effects whatsoever.
The bannanas I just bought the sticker says, fyffes from Columbia with no number, so unable to get this info.
The PLU numbers are mainly used the the US, fruit normally stickered to go Europe would not have a PLU number. Sometimes fruit such as bananas gets sent to the US with stickers without the
PLU
Does no one speak English anymore? I am sure you all have something good to say but your profanity gets in the way of your intelligence. Speak English so that you can be enjoyed and not ignored.
LOL I agree with you that vulgarity is anything but nice to read through. Why reply to a post to simply stoop below the level that you are speaking? An attempt to rise yourself above by putting others down? Speaking of intelligence, most profanity I know of is English…..also….not sure they would care if you ignored them.
Scientifically proven, there is a positive correlation between using swearwords and intelligence. The use of profanities could in fact highlight their intelligence rather than detract from it… doesn’t that just blow your fucking mind!
Sorry, but you’ve used a double negative here. If you wish to moan, then make sure your moaning is gramatically correct.
FYI in the video they showed Tomatoes being GMO, There is NO GMO Tomatoes on the market
i am organic grower. there are three numbers that will tell you what you are buying. it will be the FIRST digit of the 4 DIGIT PLU on the product. A standard 4 digit PLU is a basic standard product that is conventional NON-GMO product that uses standard chemical fertilizer. A 5 DIGIT PLU STARTING with the digit 9 is CERTIFIED ORGANIC. A 5 Digit STARTING with the digit 8 is GMO. You will seldom see a GMO advertised product because of the laws a passed in the US.
Peeps, come on. Every food out there to some degree has harmful stuff in it. They lace our skies with all kinds of contaminants. This all falls down from the planes that spew them out. So lets face it ….stuff in foods of veggies grown and water all have stuff in em. We are all born to die. Back in the old days food was food and no pesticides or stuff airborne to contaminate us. Gmo ‘s are man made and I think they have been here for a very long time. . Try and look up raw milk …which I may add has a cancer causing agent in it. But see if you can buy it anywhere. Check out how many farmers who drink only raw milk …well check out how long they live. Bottom line we are what we eat. Not to mention Terra forming..don’t get me into that one.
I always drink raw milk
is corn sprayed with nicotine considered a gmo?
GM stands for genetically modified. being sprayed with nicotine isn’t modifying the genome of the corn.
How about just washing your fruits and vegetables instead of wasting money on “organic”? Organic doesn’t make it the slightest bit healthier – just a marketing gimmick. Joke’s on those who fall for that BS!
Of course organic makes it more healthy. Organic vegetables are grown in living healthy soil with no artificial fertilizers or chemical sprays. Organic is all about soil health and the nutrition in it that is absent in conventional soils. ZeeBass, people like you will never properly do your research so their is hardly any point in talking to folks like you !
“Organic vegetables are grown in living healthy soil with no artificial fertilizers or chemical sprays.”
What about the organic pesticides that are many times more toxic than anything synthetic? Things like bromide, with an LD50 of 300mg/kg, vs glyphosate (LD50 – 5,600mg/kg).
*bromine, not bromide
And NO chemicals are in the air? Also, Organic tests do not test for heavy metals.
Wash it off? If plants are being sprayed, then the very earth they grown in is contaminated by these poisons as it seeps into the dirt. So the seed itself is absorbing the chemicals and it goes through the whole plant. You can’t just wash it off. No joke on anyone.
Oh ZeeBass, if only it were that simple. Most sprays on fruit and vege, pesticides and fungicides, are laced with chemical to make them water resistant. Then there are the sprays which contain chemicals which are drawn into the fruit (becoming systemic). I agree that fruit and vege shouldn’t need to be labelled ‘organic’. I would much rather that chemically treated fruit and vege were labelled ‘chemically treated’ and organic vege n fruit were the main stream. There is no joke in any of this, and any BS is with the companies (notably Monsanto and Bayer) who convince people such as yourself that organic is a gimmick. Dig a little past the advertising my friend and have a long and happy life
You can’t wash a fruit or vegetable in order for the fruit or vegetable to be organic. The agricultural of a farm defines the final product. So, if it is GMO (genetically modified organism) it is the traditional native seed or imitated seed of the fruit or vegetable because the company or farmer wanted it modified for a variety of reasons. Let’s say I have big buyers and in a month I have two markets who are scheduled to buy me 3,000 avacados Large size. Well, I am going to find a “scientific” seed modified to grow quickly Large sized avacados for the sake of my profit and financial stability. Okay let’s get to the point already. The modified seed grows a modified final product which means the whole product is NOT organic. GMO seed equals modified growth because the original timing for a fruit or vegetable was altered it was modified for size it can be modified for anything. These modifications cause variouse problem from endocrine disruption to native seed extinction to green house gases to fertilization that’s dangerouse once it runs everywhere when it rains etc.. Point is why do I want to buy product imitated just so someone can make more money and leave me with a fake fast cheap modification. I don’t want to be fake fast cheap. I’m fighting for a place in history. I’m sorry if you don’t understand my message. Sorry I kind of got off point I know no one cares. But I hope I drove the point across. GMO it is growed/raised GMO within and inside and outside you can’t wash it off..
Of course it’s healthier, you’re not eating all the chemicals that in the fruit/veg. What a daft thing to say!
Actually, yes, you are, since everything in existence is made of chemicals (not including elements, which make up chemicals).
Actually studies have shown that there are no increased health benefits from eating organic fruits and vegetables and organic only had a 30% lower pesticide contamination and was not found to be 100% pesticide free. If you believe it is superior pay a significantly higher price and reap the placebo benefits only.
30% is huge!! Give me 30% of your daily wage.
Also, do some research on multigenerational effects of the rat studies they did.
Studied by? Phrasing- “no increased benefit”; how about phrasing it this way–“organic food has significantly less chemical contamination”?
“organic food has significantly less chemical contamination”
Then the response can be appropriately phrased as “[citation needed]”.
Ha! The rat studies show that after 3+ generations the generalist of the rats is disfigured and unable to be used for reproduction. (GMO Fed)
No harm though, for you anyways.
Ignorant duck.
Oh, you mean the soundly debunked Seralini “study”? The one where he knowingly used a breed of rats that are known for developing tumours, anyway, and still attributed it to GMOs with no evidence? Those rats?
Misleading article.
The IFPS release from July 2015 says
“Though the ‘8’ prefix (83000 – 84999) was once reserved for GMO produce items, the prefix was never used
at retail. Stripping the prefix of this particular designation will yield one thousand additional PLU numbers
to be used in future years. This will not in any way impact the current use of the ‘9’ prefix (93000-94999)
which will continue to be used to indicate organic produce items.”
Did you folks know that people have been collecting these labels since the 1920s? I did myself for a few years until they started filling most of the label with the 4- or 5-digit code. They used to be well-designed and attractive labels – there are catalogues of them, lists of ALL the numbers (from which, yes, you can learn quite a lot!) and all kinds of stories if you would care to look them up. Check “fruit labels” or “fruit label collection” on Google. There is a man in Denmark who has collected some 1400 different Banana labels from all over the world!
I wonder how much someone gets paid to put these stickers on EVERY fruit??? That would be a sucky job!…just sayin 🙂
This story is a mixture of true and flase. In short, the stickers are NOT a reliable means of determining the origin of the fruit.

WHAT PROOF DO YOU HAVE THEY ARE ORGANIC GROWN WHEN YOU BUY THEM,
DONT SAY IT IS WRITTEN, THAT IS WHAT THEY CALL MARKETING,,,
Thank you jeanmcken for exposing this as I too have approached Supper Market Management. There is no such thing as organic Bananas, the plantations are massive, so are the diseases that attack these crops and the only way to prevent as such is spraying from aircraft, ‘Round Up’ for weeds at the base of each palm’ then upon shipping each container is chemically fumigated to kill bugs and snakes just in case. At the arrival of these containers one will find each bunch of Bananas are too green to eat thus a gas is used to speed up to ripen as quick as possible, now tell me again how it is that we can sell organic Bananas in Supper Markets these days! That’s false advertising, another con to the public, avoid purchases & let the marketing manager know this as he or she might not be aware… Remember to be organic one must be five miles from another crop producing agricultural farm rbodletropicalfruitmanagement
Yeah, you are right, everything here is correct. I used to be working in a banana plantation. Unless you plant, nurture your own plant with natural farming way, for your own consumption- then that’s you call “organic”!
Lots of BS in comments on both sides here …
Sodium Cloride is a chemical … but I’m not afraid to eat salt
GMOs are bad … yes I hate toy dogs (we’ve been doing stuff like this for centuries folks)
Then our food is safe … if you trust agribusiness with the safety of your food then you’re an idiot
Obviously the distinction is not chemical/non-chemical, and yes, we live, even flourish, surrounded by chemicals. Particular chemicals, and not others. Water, salt in relative abundance. Lead, far less so. Arsenic, not much at all, if we’re lucky. Living things on the planet we inhabit have evolved for particular chemicals to be around in abundance, call them natural chemicals, but clearly, other chemicals are “supposed” do be far scarcer, as far as our physiologies are concerned, and others, not appearing at all in our natural environment, but created in laboratories, we have not evolved to co-exist with at all. Some of those we can adapt to easily enough, some are noxious, some deadly. Sometimes in seconds, sometimes over months or years and years. Also, GMO’s = any form of plant or animal breeding before we gained the ability to insert DNA from one completely unrelated creature into the genome of another, where nature would simply never have put it, is a false equivalency. We simply do not know enough about how the reams and reams of data stored in DNA base pairs expands into a fully fledged organism, let along only recently verified further levels of encoding such as DNA folding, to be able to confidently predict all the long-term effects of altering an organism in a particular way.
The word “organic” doesn’t always mean 100% organic…
http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/organic-food/art-20043880
You want truly natural and organic… grow your own food so you know what you are eating. Also, many will get upset about GMO’s but have no problem buy and eating “seedless” watermelon and/or “seedless” grapes … duh!
All fruit and veggies are grown in soil, water and sun. They are all organic. until humans add their shit.. It’s just stupid to pay more just cause it says organic.
Hello Just Me! Eat the ones with four numbers, beginning with a four. When your ailments begin creeping up on you, remember all the money you saved. Apples, Berries Peaches, sweet bell peppers,celery, nectarines cherries, lettuce, imported grapes, pears, spinach, potatoes, carrots, hot peppers, are 1/3 rd most heaviest pesticide sprayed on the list. IF YOU CHOOSE TO EAT HARMFUL FOODS LOADED WITH PESTICIDES, GROWTH HARMONES, AND ETC CHEMICALS. GO AHEAD…KEEP IN MIND ALL THE PEOPLE YOUNG AND OLD SUFFERING TODAY BECAUSE OF IT AND THE CHEM TRAILS YOU SEE IN THE SKY. GOOGLE: CHEM TRAILS FOR ANOTHER SHOCKER

Citation, please.
“THE CHEM TRAILS YOU SEE”
Oh. You’re one of them. Never mind.
Well said chuck.
GMO…..”corn” as we know it has been GMO from the beginning. Other “GMO” things we eat are seedless grapes, navel oranges, seedless watermelon, well you get the idea. OH, Our dogs and cats are GMO also. We are surrounded by GMO. Do the research yourself and then decide what you can live without.
What a croc. The code signifies nothing like that
they are the code numbers we type in to the register so we can weigh them, banana is 1, tomato 2, normal potato is 3 , same with apples and oranges that number on the sticker is what is typed in or we look it up if we don’t remember the codes.
