Have you ever noticed that small "labels" are always attached to fruits bought from supermarkets? And there are usually 4-5 numbers printed on it. These numbers are not ordinary numbers, but hidden health-related mysteries!

the numbers on these stickers are called "PLUCode codes", which represent the origin, planting methods, varieties and colors of fruits. All fruits imported from Europe and America to Taiwan Province must be labeled with this label, just like "fruit ID cards".

people should pay attention to the fact that these four or five-digit codes have different meanings at the beginning. The "9" stands for "organic planting" and the "8" stands for "genetic modification" (the 8-digit code has been completely stopped at present). The words "4" and "3" are "traditionally planted fruits", which means that it is likely to contain pesticides or comprehensive fertilizers. People should pay special attention to cleaning if they buy them!

PLU labeling rules for imported fruits

PLU starts with 9 (five yards) → "anic-grown" fruits

PLU starts with 8 (five yards) → "Genetically modified/genetically modified" fruits

PLU starts with 3, 4 (four yards) → "Traditional-grown fruits" may contain pesticides. For the health of relatives and friends, share it quickly and remind them that if you buy the ones starting with 3 and 4, you must strengthen the cleaning process! Do you like this article?
