Which item has PLU code 4077?

• A. Corn yellow
• B. Corn white
• C. Tomato plum
• D. Ginger

Answer: (B)

PLU codes are four-digit numbers used at checkout to identify exactly which produce item is being sold. Each product type and even its variety has its own code, so cashiers can price items quickly and consistently. The code 4077 is the standard PLU for white corn, which is why white corn is the correct match. The other items—corn in a different color, tomato plum, and ginger—have their own distinct PLU numbers, so they wouldn't be identified by 4077. (If the product were organic, you’d see a 9 prefixed to the code, like 94077, but the four-digit code itself corresponds to the conventional white corn.)
