food grown with pesticides, the tip could be very handy.In a TikTok video watched more than 3million times, Joshua Bollum says: "I’m sure a lot of you eat fruit, and whenever you buy fruit, you always see these little stickers on them."Well, these little stickers actually tell you how the fruit is grown."He then zooms in to show the code on a lemon and a Pink Lady apple which is 5030 and a Sun Pacific orange which is 4012.Joshua says: "These numbers mean different things, so a four-digit number means it’s been grown with pesticides, and a five-digit number that starts with eight usually means it’s genetically modified (GMO)."A five-digit number starting with nine usually means it’s certified organic."In a nutshell, look out for the magic number nine if you only want to eat eco-friendly products – although as many viewers pointed out, it can get expensive.One quipped: "I actually don’t need to read the barcode to know if it’s organic. "They always have a big sign, or section, and it’s double the price."Other people said the information was very useful and helped spread awareness of farming methods."I wish i saw this 15min earlier because I am 100% sure the shiny apple I just ate is BAD," said one.A second said: "I work in a grocery store, this is 100% true!"Someone else shared: "I'm surprised how many people don't believe this.
