The number on the sticker is called
“PLU Code”, which means
“Price Look-up Code”. If you think these numbers are used for identification purpose only, you are wrong. These numbers tell how the plantation is grown before it reaches you, and how safe they are to your health.It is very common to see a tiny sticker that appears on fruits. These stickers are called “Price Look-Up”, PLU codes that contains numbers, entered by cashiers / check-out clerks, at the cash register. While shopping, when the hands move from one fruit to another, we really don’t bother looking at the PLU code because we don’t realize it had special meaning. Many of us would have probably thought that they help speed up check-outs. But they really have something to tell us!! It’s amazing to know that this tiny little bar codes reveals secret that the store might not want you to know!
