What PLU codes should be included in the list on this page? There are over 13000 of them, so clearly the list cannot be comprehensive. Perhaps groups containing only common citris, apples, et cetera? ~CS 22:39, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Include Organic PLUs (that is, information such as the preceding '9')? --207.22.49.218 07:01, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not just for groceries…

PLUs can be used to look up pretty much any salable item, not just groceries. They tend to be a retailer-internal equivalent to UPCs. The electronics store I work at uses 7-digit PLUs. —Nahum Reduta 10:34, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Much too Specific…

This article would lead one to believe that the only use of PLU is for produce sales in US stores. PLU is a much broader concept, as mentioned above. For example, all varieties of fish sold in the US have a set 4 digit PLU code that is part of the longer random-weight barcode. In addition, if the produce part is kept as part of a larger article, some mention should be made of who issues the codes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Futurehouse (talkcontribs) 20:16, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
