Additionally, the fruits feature stickers with individual price look-up (PLU) codes. The upper portion of the sticker is white with «Malichita» in black, while the lower half is black with the number 4050 in white, accompanied by the words «Product of Mexico/produit du Mexique.» Salmonella, the cause for concern, can result in severe and potentially fatal infections in vulnerable populations, including young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
