Decoding Fruit Stickers: What Do They Really Mean?

Rishika Baranwal

Stickers are applied to fruits by companies.

These stickers not only serve branding purposes but also include coding.

If a sticker has 5 digits and the first digit starts with 9...

Then it means that the fruit has been organically grown. 

Conversely, if the code starts with digit 8...

Then it indicates that the fruit has not been prepared using organic methods.
