I wrote about this last year, but thought it was important to share again! Once I read about fish in my apples, I knew I needed to be better educated on produce identification. Here it is simplified:
Look at the Product Look Up Code (PLU) on the produce sticker.
4 digit numbers are NOT organic.
A 9 in front of the numbers means it IS organic.
A 8 in front of the numbers means genetically modified. Be careful what you eat!
If you cannot make the switch to organic for everything, at least be aware of which foods have the largest amount of pesticides. For example, peaches, strawberries, bell peppers and celery. Then you can make better decisions about what you eat. Now that is Good2Know!
