While produce stickers are made with FDA-approved food-grade materials, they are not designed to be a food source and offer no nutritional value. The materials are classified as 'food contact substances,' meaning they are safe for incidental contact with food, not regular consumption.

According to the International Federation for Produce Standards (IFPS), there are over 1,500 Price Look-Up (PLU) codes used on fresh produce. Understanding these stickers and the famous tech decals answers the common question, "What are the apple stickers for?" and clarifies their different functions for consumers.
