What PLU code is assigned to Tomato plum?

• A. 4562
• B. 4086
• C. 4069
• D. 4087

Answer: (D)

PLU codes are numeric identifiers used to specify a particular variety of produce at the point of sale. A plum tomato is assigned the four-digit code 4087, which is part of the conventional (non-organic) set. The first digit 4 signals conventional produce, and the remaining digits distinguish the plum tomato variety from other tomatoes or produce items. If the tomato were organic, you’d typically see a five-digit code starting with 9, such as 94087, used in many stores. The other numbers correspond to different items and do not identify the plum tomato, so 4087 is the correct code.
