I’m sure those plastic stickers (with the price codes on them) can’t be good for soil, but how bad do you think they are for plants growing in soil with them?

Thanks!
I just checked an apple and the sticker was plastic.
Maybe some places are smart and ban plastic stickers?

Paper is a perfectly acceptable composting material. If it was on fruit or vegetables then it has to be food grade paper, so there shouldn’t be any problems
