19 Sun, 07/19/2020 - 13:20 Anonymous English 47.208.103.122 Petition/Advocacy Campaign Ban Single-Use-Plastic Produce Labels Produce labels are those frustrating little sticky Price Lookup (PLU) labels that you peel off every piece of fruit -- and most of the vegetables -- that you buy at the grocery store. Made of micro thin plastic and attached with glue they are deemed “safe” for contact with food by the FDA. But these little labels cause BIG problems in downstream waste disposal: they create needless plastic waste, pollute both commercial and residential composting facilities, are difficult to peel off produce, and add ZERO value to the average consumer.

By signing this petition, you will be telling the EPA, FDA, Consumer Advocacy groups, and members of the National Grocer’s Association what you really think about these annoying and unnecessary labels and, at the same time, you will be taking a stand for the elimination of Single Use Plastic (SUP) piece by piece.
