UPDATE March 2010: The above article has been taken down by its author, but for the same information, I’d like to direct you to the Wikipedia article “Price Look-Up code“.

The original article also was in error in that there is not a certain code (originally reported as being five digits beginning with 8) that indicate a produce item is genetically modified. Ah, only in our dreams would the labelling of GM foods be happening in the United States. In fact, the only promise we have that a food item is not genetically modified is to trust the Organic label as (for now anyway) organic standards prohibit genetic modification.
