Have you ever wondered about the numbers printed on the stickers placed on fruits and vegetables? These seemingly random digits serve important functions, benefiting both customers and merchants. They are more than just a scanning tool at the checkout counter—they provide a wealth of information about your produce.
Understanding PLU Codes
PLU stands for “Price Look-Up,” and these codes are designed for three primary purposes:
- Identification: They help grocery stores quickly recognize different types of produce during checkout, ensuring that each item is accurately priced.
- Organic vs. Non-Organic: PLU codes distinguish between organic and non-organic products. Organic produce is identified with a five-digit code starting with the number “9,” while non-organic produce typically uses a four-digit code.
- Variety Differentiation: They also help distinguish between different varieties of the same fruit or vegetable.
