Check the sticker on fruits and vegetables if you want to know if it is GMO....
If you want to know more about how to tell if your fruit is GMO or not, check the sticker....Article is from Diana Ellis ....

Here is a reminder, check the sticker on the fruits or veggies :
Here are the basics of what you should know:
1.If
there are only four numbers in the PLU, this means that the produce was
grown conventionally or “traditionally” with the use of pesticides. The
last four letters of the PLU code are simply what kind of vegetable or
fruit. An example is that all bananas are labeled with the code of 4011.
2.If
there are five numbers in the PLU code, and the number starts with “8″,
this tells you that the item is a genetically modified fruit or
vegetable. Genetically modified fruits and vegetables trump being
organic. So, it is impossible to eat organic produce that are grown from
genetically modified seeds. A genetically engineered (GE or GMO) banana
would be: 84011
3.If there are five numbers in the PLU code, and
the number starts with “9″, this tells you that the produce was grown
organically and is not genetically modified. An organic banana would
be: 94011
