请教一个关于水果标签的问题：4字开头是转基因水果吗？谢谢

TAO

水果上一般都贴有一个小标签，标签下方一般标有出口国的名称，中间的英文字母标明水果的名称，最上方的英文字母标识的是出口企业的名称。消费者尤其需要注意的是标签上的那组4位阿拉伯数字，那组数字是果园的包装号，开头的数字不同表达的意思也不一样。最常见的是以数字3、4、5开头的。以3字开头，表示该水果喷洒过农药；以4字开头，表示是转基因水果；以5字开头，表示该水果是杂交品种。所以，消费者在选择进口水果时，除了需查看水果的外观，还要多留意小标签上的内容，才能做出相应的选择。

谁要是有什么4字开头转基因水果可以送给我吃，谢谢。

任何只有4位数字的 PLU code 都不能告诉你是否转基 ...

谢谢高人指点：）

任何只有4位数字的 PLU code 都不能告诉你是否转基因。

A fifth digit "may be adopted for use on non-conventionally grown product", such as organic (prefixed by a '9') or genetically modified (prefixed by an '8').[2] The idea that such prefixes can be reliably used by consumers to tell whether a product is genetically modified or not has been called an urban legend by Jeffrey M. Smith writing on The Huffington Post.[3] However, the July 2012 Produce PLU Codes User's Guide prepared by the International Federation for Produce Standards specifies that three categories have been established for the fifth (leading) digit qualifier. A '9' identifies organic produce, an '8' indicates genetically modified produce, and a '0' or no fifth digit indicates non-qualified produce.[4] Thus, (if "no fifth digit" indicates "non-qualified produce"), all common produce, for example the Pink Lady apples in the illustration, are "non-qualified."
