An act relating to requiring price look-up stickers on produce be compostable
H 478 requires grocery stores and markets to use compostable price look-up (PLU) stickers on produce instead of plastic ones. The stickers must be made from natural materials or meet industrial composting standards with food-safe adhesive. This applies to all wholesale and retail food sellers who attach these stickers to produce and takes effect July 1, 2028, aligning with upcoming European Union standards. The bill specifically targets PLU stickers, not broader plastic regulations.
