Saffron and Honey

Eat Chic

August 1, 2011

What do fruit stickers mean?

If you’re curious, go visit Fruit Sticker where you can plug in the PLU number you find on produce and find out what it actually means.

For example, organic produce is denoted by a five-digit number whose first digit is 9, while an 8 prefix indicates genetically modified food.
