PLU code

**PLU code**

A PLU code (Price Look-Up code) is a numerical code commonly used in grocery stores and markets to identify bulk produce and other items without packaging. These codes help cashiers quickly and accurately ring up purchases by indicating the exact product type, variety, and sometimes even its organic status. PLU codes are typically found on small stickers attached to fruits, vegetables, and other fresh goods. Understanding PLU codes can help shoppers make informed choices about their produce, including recognizing organic versus conventionally grown items.
