From what I understand…..
Plu# starting with 9 is organic Plu# starting with 8 is genetically motified (Organic and Genetically motified are five digit numbers). Plu# starting with 4 or 3 is conventional produce (Conventional codes are four digit numbers, currently in the 3000-4000 range).PLU #?? what is this?
PLU stands for price look-up code. The sticker you find on your produce has the PLU# on them.
examples: #4132 or #3122 – since they start with a 4 or a 3 it usually means they are conventional. #95548 – since it starts with a 9 it usually means it is organic. #86534 – since it starts with a 8 it usually means it is genetically motified.
It helps the grocery store identify their produce. It also is used to ring your produce up when checking out of the store.
yes, the ‘3’ means conventional, not organic.
