Fruit Label: Organic or Genetically Engineered

Have you ever wonder why there are brand stickers on fruit? The stickers are not just for branding but can actually tell you how the product was grown or created. By reading the PLU code on the fruit label, you can tell if the fruit was organically grown or genetically engineered. Scientists have not perfected the art of creating genetically modified food; therefore, consuming it may cause unknown allergens and strange side effects.
Many of the techniques used for genetic engineering food have not been thoroughly tested and are rushed into the market for quicker profits. When your body detects food that it does not recognize, it treats the food like a foreign agent. This can cause certain allergic reactions and may lead to autoimmune disorders, birth defects and other chronic health problems. As of this writing, the USDA does not require genetically modified food to be label. Because of this, most companies that produce genetically modified food do not put labels on their products.
Fruit label PLU code:
- Conventionally grown fruit: PLU code consists of 4 numbers (e.g. 4012).
- Organically grown fruit: PLU code consists of 5 numbers and begins with 9 (e.g. 94012)
- Genetically engineered fruit: PLU code consists of 5 numbers and begins with 8 (e.g. 84012). Genetically modified food usually does not have this PLU code because most consumers have a negative view about genetically modified food.

With increasing initiatives for food safety and responsibility, some farmers are looking for new methods to promote their products. One such effort is the inclusion of a bar code along with the PLU that holds information on where the product was grown and packaged before being shipped to the store. This method would provide tracking abilities and help reduce outbreaks in the case of contaminated produce.
