UPC Inspection Results

The Universal Price Code (UPC) on the product or tag is often used in conjunction with the store's electronic scanners to read the price at the checkout counter. The corresponding price is loaded into the store computer and sometimes this preloaded price does not match the price posted on or near the item.  The Department conducts inspections to determine scanning accuracy.  See UPC Inspection Results details.

Price Posting Inspection Results

According to Arizona law, a "person shall not misrepresent the price of any commodity or service sold or offered, exposed or advertised for sale by weight, measure or count or represent the price in any manner calculated or tending to mislead or in any way to deceive a person."  Therefore retailers are required to price items for sale. The Department conducts inspections to ensure items are priced correctly.  See Price Posting Inspection Results for inspection result details.
