This property will make possible to decypher the number on the fruit sticker, of the fruit you're currently eating. You'll get the exact fruit or vegetable cultivar you're eating, and in turn nutrition information, and Wikipedia article. We also plan to use it in Open Food Facts.

- Note: All codes are prefixed "9" if organic. No need to store both values. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:53, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
- Discussion
- I don't think it's a good idea to link from the English description to an article on the French Wikipedia. Who's the authority for this standard? Is this a French, European or International standard? Can you add this information to the description? ChristianKl (talk) 12:25, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
- Fixed, thanks. This is a global standard. Authority: IFPSGlobal, which is the "International Federation for Produce Standards"--Teolemon (talk) 12:31, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
