Just in case some of you don't want to read the comments to hqueen13's article, here is a link that is mentioned. The *9* that is mentioned as being the code for organic is correct, but the *8*, indicating GMO foods, though correct, isn't used, so is not helpful if you are trying to avoid them.
Thank you, BTW, hqueen for reminding us all about the *9* code; its a good one to know.
Or know the producer personally (get to know the people at your local farmer's market), or the ultimate in knowing where your food comes from--grow it yourself
We've known about the "9" prefix on the sku number for a few years now but I had never heard of the "8" prefix and have never seen it.
