READING YOUR FRUIT LABELS

I work at a grocery store and I honestly thought these numbers were simply for bookkeeping purposes in the stores system.  BUT OH DID I LEARN SOMETHING with this trivia:

The codes on the fruit actually means something!  You'll not only learn where the fruit was grown, you'll also learn how it was grown.  Here's a handy tip to help you decipher them...
