1. Can you explain the importance of the sticker codes found on fruits?
Do these slips hold any meaning?

PLU codes, short for Price Look-Up codes, are a numerical system used to uniquely identify bulk produce sold in supermarkets and grocery stores. In operation since 1990, there are currently over 1400 assigned codes. The administration of these codes falls under the International Federation for Produce Standards (IFPS), a global coalition of fruit and vegetable associations established in 2001 to implement PLU numbers worldwide.



If sticker has 5 digit and starts with 9 its 100% organic and genuine




If sticker has 5 digit and starts with 8 then its 50% organic & 50% chemical




If sticker has 4 digit and starts with 4 then its 100% chemical with no nutrition




Other stickers are fake & put by shopkeepers to make you buy it.
