  Most (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.

    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.

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

  It is the PLU code used for bananas in grocery stores. The PLU code is the code the cashier punches in before weighing the produce to get the correct price.

  I think that’s because 4011 is a cool number for bananas
