Labelling

[edit]

Produce labels (stickers) are as follows:

  • Beginning with a 3 or 4: produce is conventionally grown (pesticides)
  • Beginning with a 9: produce is grown organically (no pesticides)
  • Beginning with an 8: GMO produce (contains genetically modified material)

Someone has added this to the article without even saying what country they're talking about (may I presume the United States?). I'm not sure if it's notable, but if so a discussion of international labelling is called for, not an unqualified statement on some specific region's policy.

These are the correct labels for the entire continental US. I do not have access to verify this as being the case for anywhere else. I do, however, feel that this is important information and helps to expand this stub. It should be merged back into the original article. --Joseph.r.martinez 17:44, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
