produce stickers

Updated: Aug 24, 2023

there are lots of cute stickers i love to buy as decoration on my notebook or gift wraps, but produce stickers are annoying.

i either have a hard time peeling them before eating my apple, or i just forgot and accidentally ate it. anyone has similar experiences?


make matters worse, they are contaminants to the environment while composting the food waste; they can accidentally stick and clog your sink.

and.........

anyone wants to eat a sticker with glue and adhesive?

probably not good for your health, and taste bad.


i've never seen so many stickers being used on produce until i came to america. they are used as id and plu (price look-up) codes for pricing. the purpose is for traceability and efficiency at the checkout, and of course, regulatory compliance.

can we use our awesome big data and digital technologies, or an eco-friendly notebook to record and track plu codes, instead of an annoying stick on my delicious apple?
