i was wondering if this also applies in Australia? Thanks
This applies nowhere in the world. Spending 1 minute googling you easily end up with this:
“The 4-digit PLU codes for produce are assigned randomly within a series of numbers within the 3000 and 4000 series. There is no intelligence built into the 4-digit code. For example, no one number within the 4-digit number represents anything in particular. The 4-digit codes are for conventionally grown produce.”
