Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Universal Product Code (UPC) is a way to identify products. It is a unique 12-digit code that is used by retailers and manufacturers to identify a specific product and track its movement through supply chains. Option A is incorrect because preventing product cannibalisation is not the purpose of UPC. Option B is incorrect because the use of UPC is not limited to companies with product managers. Option D is incorrect because there is no legal requirement for products to have a UPC, regardless of their distribution strategy. Option E is also incorrect because UPC is a 12-digit code, not a five-digit number.
