Part of an e-m forwarded to me. I don't have a link to the original source but this had the same info.

...Although 70% of processed foods contain genetically engineered ingredients, there are no laws requiring the labeling of these products in the U.S. But smart consumers are able to tell how their produce was created, just by looking at the PLU code on the sticker of the fruit or vegetable.
The PLU code for conventional produce (grown with synthetic pesticides and fertilizers) consists of four numbers.
Organically grown produce has a five digit PLU prefaced by the number 9.
Genetically engineered produce has a five digit PLU prefaced by the number 8.
