Tomato Jersey/hydroponic large is listed under which PLU code?

• A. 4062
• B. 4900
• C. 4799
• D. 4440

Answer: (C)

PLU codes uniquely identify produce by its type and size, so each item has its own four-digit identifier in the store’s system. Tomato Jersey grown hydroponically in a large size is assigned a specific code in that PLU catalog, and using that exact code ensures the cashier rings up the correct item and price.

In this case, the Jersey/hydroponic large tomato corresponds to the code used for that exact item. The other codes represent different tomato varieties or sizes, so they wouldn’t pull up the Jersey/hydroponic large item. Memorizing that Jersey hydroponic large tomatoes map to this particular code helps you quickly recognize the right entry during practice or on the floor.
