I'm trying to find out what the PLU code 3 represents. I've seen it on some produce items but I'm not sure what it stands for or what type of fruit or vegetable it's associated with.

When the first digit of a 4-digit PLU code is either 3 or 4, it indicates something specific about the produce.

Specifically, it means that the produce was grown conventionally or "traditionally."
