We just bought some grapefruit at the local grocery store. All fruits carry a label "Florida 4284". Does anyone know what this actually indicates?

This is what the label looks like:

Star Ruby or Deep Red according to: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Flegufrulabelofolie.fr%2Faffichemulti_user.php%3Fnum%3D20314&sl=auto&tl=en

Thanks, that's where I found the image of the label on the internet.
I was curious to know if that number means anything, or is it just a reference for the variety?

According to Wikipedia, the PLU code

Quote:

is a four or five-digit number, currently in the 3000–4999 range, identifying the type of bulk produce, usually including the variety.

Thanks, that makes it clear!
