Bar codes to know when choosing fruit -
If the code is five digits long and starts with an 8 - it has been genetically modified.
If the code is four digits long and starts with a 3 or a 4 - the fruit has been treated with chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
The best code has five numbers starting with 9. The fruit is organic and was cultivated using traditional methods.

Interesting. I thought labeling was required for organic. I just assume anything else has the pesticides.

Maybe that's like - "You can tell which day your bread products were baked by the color of the twist ties or fasteners." [All the twist ties and fasteners for baked goods at my store are white - 365 days a year!]
Snopes can be trusted.
