Do you know what those stickers on fruit?

Probably many of us pay attention to the little nakleechki on the fruit. In addition to the bright logo, it has a digital PLU code (Price Look Up). It turns out that manufacturers label the fruit not only to identify themselves but also communicate important consumer information.

We at the Website decided to tell me how to understand these figures and understand what information there is encrypted.

4-digit code starting with the numbers 3 or 4





If the sticker with only four numbers, this means that the fruits or vegetables were grown with maximum use of agricultural technologies, including abundant fertilization and pollination pesticides.

5 digit code starting with the number 8





When growing of such fruits was used the technology of genetic engineering — the GMO causing so much controversy. Studies have shown that genetically modified are often fruits such as melon, banana and papaya.

5 digit code starting with the number 9





If you see five digits starting with 9, this tells us that the fruit was grown on the farm way, as did our ancestors: hand weeding and no chemical fertilizers. This product is considered organic.

If the fruit is no PLU code





Most people try to choose fruit with no stickers. But it's actually safer to give preference to the marked products because the fruits are imported from abroad, must contain paper labels. But if not, then there is a strong likelihood that fruit from them "cleaned".
