Slashfood linked to a tip at Ideal Bite on how to tell the difference between genetically modified, conventional and organic fruits and veggies by reading the sticker:

• A four-digit number means it’s conventionally grown.
• A five-digit number beginning with 9 means it’s organic.
• A five-digit number beginning with 8 means it’s genetically modified.

Of course, that begs the question - if I do find a GM fruit or veggie, how exactly has it been modified? Wikipedia lists a couple of documented GM controversies. Personally, I just buy local when possible, and trust in the organic industry for the rest. I have to put my trust somewhere, since I don’t grow my food myself.
