Price Look up codes (PLU)!!! I love knowing about the PLU codes. PLU codes are stickers found on your produce that help retailers and suppliers sort out and price produce. PLU codes are not there for customers but we have our hands on this wonderful piece of  information and we are going to use it to our advantage. PLU codes tells us if the produce is organic, conventionally grown, or GMO.

conventionally grown is a 4 digit code that’s starts with the number 3 or 4. Organic is a 5 digit code starting with the number 9. GMO is a  5 digit code starting with 8. In my opinion if you come across the code 8 just throw this produce on the floor, if not, do not put this item in your shopping cart, and let them pick up the spill in Aisle 4.. 🙂 but don’t say you got this from me you will blow my cover. 🙂 .. code starting with 8 I have only seen once so that’s Great News!!!!PLU codes are a guide not a guarantee. If your grocer is a fan of GMO, then they can remove the PLU stickers or they could replace the GMO PLU with a conventional PLU. I have faith that one day GMOs will be taken off the Market completely, but for now I personally feel I can trust PLU codes for the most part.

Its also good to be familiar with labels. 100% organic means its 100% organic and you will find a USDA seal of approval. products that say Organic have at least 95% organic ingredients and will have a USDA seal of approval. Products labeled made with Organic ingredients means 70% of ingredients are organic and will not have a USDA seal of approval.

I love using these codes they are so helpful… Have fun with them look forward to writing again soon. Don’t make too much mess in Aisle 4 . Be discrete. 🙂

Talk to you soon!!!!!!
