A Simple way to ID GMO foods without the label...check the UPC!

Here is an easy way to check whether or not the fruits and vegetables you're buying contain GMOs....


Organically
5 digits
Starting w/ no. 9

Conventionally
4 digits
Starting w/ no. 3 or 4

Genetically Modified
5 digits
Starting w/ no. 8

Now remember, this is NOT the 'serial-code' that's scanned by the clerk. It is a sticker, not a permanent label in the case of apples and the like. Some things like celery or lettuce will have the same classification printed on the cellophane.

Basically, do not buy/eat food that has a five digit code starting with 8 because that indicates it's GMO. So what you SHOULD look for, is a four digit code, unless your buying from an organic store (in that case, there is no need to identify is there?)

Meat and poultry have no such UPC labels and, as of this time, you have no way to accurately identify them as "GMO safe."  As for fish, just remember to buy wild caught and you'll be fine.
