From the Wikipedia article on PLU (Price Look-Up) codes on (mainly) fruit in the grocery store (the irritating little plastic labels stuck to every piece with a number on it). Specifically, what I didn't know was that genetically modified foods have a specific code you can watch for.
Conventionally-grown fruit has a four-digit number (e.g., 1234)
Organically-grown fruit has a five-digit number beginning with "9" (e.g., 91234)
Genetically-modified fruit has a five-digit number beginning with "8" (e.g., 81234)
Conventionally-grown fruit has a four-digit number (e.g., 1234)
Organically-grown fruit has a five-digit number beginning with "9" (e.g., 91234)
Genetically-modified fruit has a five-digit number beginning with "8" (e.g., 81234)
