Here's a great thing to know:

According to a letter from a scientist knowledgeable in the field of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the October 2003 issue of Gourmet magazine:

"A useful tip to the consumer [would be] a primer on how to read the little stickers on loose fruits and vegetables.
Besides providing the store's cash registers and computers with product identification and price information, these stickers can tell you a lot about the food you are buying:

Five digits beginning with "8" means genetically engineered.
Five digits beginning with "9" means organically grown.

Hi Christina,

Would indeed be a great idea.

I have recently added to the content of my coat pocket a small magnifying glass so while doing my daily shopping I am able to read the teeny weeny print.
