The PLU code 4072 corresponds to which item?

• A. potato Russet west
• B. Onions Red
• C. sweet potato
• D. eggplant

Answer: (A)

PLU codes identify produce at checkout, with four-digit numbers used for standard fresh items. The specific item is determined by the code itself. The code 4072 is designated for Russet potatoes grown in the Western region, often listed as Russet West. That’s why it matches Russet potatoes from the West rather than red onions, sweet potatoes, or eggplant, which have their own distinct PLU codes.
