You know the little stickers attached to the loose fruit you buy, (could be some veg also), this is what I've heard the code to mean. If it has 4 numbers, that means it is conventionally grown, 5 numbers starting with 8 means GM (genetically modified), and 5 numbers starting with 9 means organically produced. Happy shopping Val |

I never notice them. I just rip it off, battle to get it off my finger and then it goes in the bin. But now you've told us i'll check next time. |

My fruit is telling me "get us out of the fruit bowl - we died" |

Zoe I know what you mean. Fruit in our house is either devoured rapidly on being taking out of the shopping bag or sits reproachfully in the fruit bowl. Helen |

Do wish they wouldn't pick fruit so under ripe, it doesn't taste as nice |
