That is not how source work. Without citation you are just claiming that it is a different number. This is in no way better than what you are disputing.

Well... if you check the link, it is like 20 country. Hardly a global standard.
So... If you click on the little 2 at the end of: "The codes are administered by the International Federation for Produce Standards (IFPS), a global coalition of fruit and vegetable associations that was formed in 2001 to introduce PLU numbers globally.[2]"
It will take you to: https://web.archive.org/web/20150310160444/http://www.ifpsglobal.com/AboutIFPS.aspx
Scroll down to members. I counted 14 organization from at least 11 countries. So yeah , even the 20 was a streach.
This is what I ment. Sorry if it was not clear.
About the other thing, it is subjective. I would not consider something effecting less then 10% of the countries a global thing. But you do have a point there.
