How to use this PLU reference

If you already have a PLU number, scan the number columns to find the produce description. If you are starting with a produce name, look for its variety in the description columns. For example, the apple entries distinguish Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, and Red Delicious rather than treating every apple as interchangeable. The avocado and tomato entries also show why the details matter.

This page is a handy starting point, not a substitute for checking the exact produce specification used by your buyer or retailer. If you are creating printed labels, confirm both the number and the wording before you approve a run. That small check can save a much bigger relabeling headache.

From code lookup to a usable produce label

Once you have confirmed a code, think about the rest of the label project: what information needs to be printed, how much room is available, how the label will be applied, and whether the artwork stays readable on the finished produce. Planning these details together helps turn a code lookup into a label that works in practice.
