How to tell if something is genetically modified...

An orange is an orange is an orange, right? Well, maybe not if it's genetically modified (GM). My sister-in-law shared this info about how to easily tell if produce is GM next time you're in the supermarket. All you have to do is look at the little sticker on its side:

  • A four-digit number means it's conventionally grown.
  • A five-digit number beginning with 9 means it's organic.
  • A five-digit number beginning with 8 means it's GM.
