HOW CAN YOU TELL IF FOOD IS GMO, ORGANIC, OR CONVENTIONAL? CHECK THESE CODES

by Anthony Gucciardi -  Natural Society 
Via The Daily Sheeple.

These days genetic modification of the food supply is rather prevalent. With genetic modification being linked to sterility and infant mortality, it is something that should be avoided at all costs.
 
Unfortunately, food products containing genetically modified organisms are often not properly labeled, leading to unknowing consumption of genetically modified ingredients.
 
Learn how to identify which products are genetically modified, and avoid this major health risk.

Reading the Labels:

  • Conventional Fruit Labels: Begin with the number 4, and never begin with the number 9.
  • Genetically Modified Fruit Labels: Begin with the number 8. Note that it begins with 8, not just contains the number 8. This is often a 5 digit number.
  • Organic Fruit Labels: These fruit labels always contain 5 digits, and begin with the number 9. Always check and make sure, as some “organic” products have been known to be deceptively labeled.

Look For Products Labeled 100% Organic: United States and Canadian governments do not allow companies to label products 100% organic if they contain genetically modified foods.
 
While it may be harder to find products with this label, this is the best way to go when it comes to avoiding genetically modified ingredients as well as additives.

Look For “Non-GM” or “GMO-Free” Labels:

  • GMO-Free” labels do not mean the product is organic. Nor does it mean it is free of other harmful additives such as aspartame or MSG.
