Never knew about this
Fruit stickers are small labels that are often found on fruits and vegetables in grocery stores. These stickers serve multiple purposes, including providing information about the produce’s origin, type, and price. They are essential for inventory management and help cashiers identify the correct price for each item. However, beyond their logistical utility, these stickers can also offer consumers valuable insights into how the produce was grown, which can influence purchasing decisions.
Understanding PLU Codes on Fruit
PLU codes, or Price Look-Up codes, are numerical codes found on fruit stickers. These codes are typically four or five digits long and are used worldwide to identify bulk produce. PLU codes are standardized by the International Federation for Produce Standards (IFPS) and help retailers manage inventory and pricing. Understanding these codes can empower consumers to make informed choices about the produce they purchase.
