WIC Vendor: Product Look-Up Codes for Stand-Beside Vendors

Processing Fruit and Vegetable Purchases (Stand-Beside Devices)

WIC-eligible fresh, frozen, or canned fruits and vegetables are cash value benefits (CVB). The Product Look-Up (PLU) code must be entered on the stand-beside device for fresh fruits or vegetables sold by weight or piece. Enter the 4- or 5-digit PLU code found on the produce sticker or select the appropriate one from the list below. DO NOT scan the code on the sticker. There are many different varieties included in these general categories. For example, any type of apple can be entered under the PLU provided for apple. Request the PLU code for produce items that aren't on the list from the WIC Vendor Unit.

The WIC Vendor and Integrity Unit encourages you to print the PLU tables below to use at your store as a reference guide.
