Ah, thanks. I thought it was loss.

FloatingAlong@lemmy.world 2 days agoMost (all?) Fruit sold in American grocers has an assigned code for ringing up at the register. Bananas is the only one I remember anymore, but it’s 4011.

Idk about register code, but if you weigh them yourself, bananas are #1 in at least 2 chains here

It is indeed a global standard!

Well… if you check the link, it is like 20 country. Hardly a global standard.

Somebodies lying (or at least being deceptive). I checked the link. There’s no mention of 20 countries anywhere. Nobody said 20 countries here either. Setting that pedantry aside. In fact, even if it were used by significantly fewer than twenty countries, the ones that without a doubt do use them are spread around the globe. Thus, they are used globally.

So… If you click on the little 2 at the end of: “The codes are administered by the International Federation for Produce Standards (IFPS), a global coalition of fruit and vegetable associations that was formed in 2001 to introduce PLU numbers globally.[2]”
It will take you to: web.archive.org/web/…/AboutIFPS.aspx
Scroll down to members. I counted 14 organization from at least 11 countries. So yeah , even the 20 was a streach.
This is what I ment. Sorry if it was not clear.
About the other thing, it is subjective. I would not consider something effecting less then 10% of the countries a global thing. But you do have a point there.
