1. If the sticker contains a 4-digit code starting with 3 or 4, it means that the produce was cultivated in the second half of the 20th century, and some artificial fertilizer was used.
2. If the sticker is a 5-digit code starting with 9, the produce was cultivated in a traditional way for millennia. These products are organic, and are grown without fertilizer and pesticides.
3. If the sticker is a 5-digit code starting with 8, you’re looking at a GMO product.
