Produce is marked with a number code that reveals what kind of produce you are buying.
If there is a 5 number code starting in 9 it is organic.
If there is a 5 number code starting in 8 it is genetically modified.
If there is a 4 number code starting in 4 it is conventional.
If there is a 4 number code starting in 3 it is irradiated.
Don't just go by the names on the signs... check the numbers on the tags. That is what tells you the real story.

I had to search long before finding this site. It is the only one that shows the 4-digit 3 code means irradiated produce.
Same here - found some produce starting with "3" and now I know it's irradiated....
