Serial Number For Fruit

A very intersting post from megnut.com about a passage she read in a book:
Read the numbers on your fruit - megnut.com: "[T]he sticker labels on fruit: The numbers tell you how the fruit was grown. Conventionally grown fruit has four digits; organically grown fruit has five and starts with a nine; genetically engineered has five numbers and starts with an eight."
I don't know if this applies in Canada as well. I'll make sure to check next time I'm at the grocery store.
