RESEARCH ON FRUIT STICKERS




Produce label is the real name of fruit labels. They are used for coding for cashiers to scan, as well as showing customers how the fruit was grown.

A 4 digit code – means your fruit was conventionally raised.  If you don’t see a label with 5 digits it is safe to assume your fruit has been grown with pesticides and chemicals in probably depleted soil.
A 5 digit code (starting with the number 8) – means your fruit has been genetically modified.  It has been grown with pesticides already built in and has been modified.
A 5 digit code (starting with the number 9) – means your fruit is certified organic and most likely not made from Frankenstein (or in his lab)
Coding is applied to not only fruits, but vegetables, herbs, nuts.

Making fruit stickers is one of the initial ideas. As there are fruit stickers stuck on all kinds of fruits, making use of them to higher the awareness of people eating more colours and would be an effective way. As seen in the image, fruit stickers are usually in a round shape with the brand logo on it or the place of origin of the fruit. Besides, a barcode and a group of numbers are very often seen on the stickers.They are very colourful and some people, might even collect fruit stickers as their habit. 
--> make fruit/ vegetables stickers or stamps
--> have people collect them and stick them in a small booklet to track their purchasing habits on buying healthy foods
