Thanks for getting people more aware about the food they eat and where it comes from but the 5-digit PLU code is OPTIONAL for retailers and their supplier and is not designed as a communication tool for customers. If you want to know which items are organic, look for the word Organic. NO ONE uses that number 8. And why would they? Most Americans say they would avoid GMOs if they were labeled. Fortunately, there are only 4 GMO veggies or fruits at this point: papaya, but only from Hawaii and no where else; some zucchini and yellow squash, and some corn on the cob. For these, unless it says organic or boasts a non-GMO sign in the store, eating them is a gamble. It could be GMO.
So handy! Thanks
