Actually the upc's identify the product by the manufacturer and the product in their line up. For instance, the Pepsi company makes Aquafina water. Look at the upc code on the package and you will find that the first five numbers are the same as the first five numbers on the soda packages.
The different companies are all identified by a unique upc code. As I said, the first five numbers identify the company. Kraft Foods has many different products under their coding system. It is fascinating to see what company owns what brand.
The trick is to look at the first five numbers, find the company, then look at the last five numbers as the item that you are holding in your hand. I know that this is a round about way of telling you that a grocery may have thousands of product codes, but it is so. They are divided as I pointed out. This is to enable the computer behind the check out to identify each product by its code.
The other item that you might not know about is the PLU. This is Private Lookup Code, and the grocery uses it for such items as produce, bakery items, and Deli items. These are kin to the upc, but are sometimes different for every store depending on the product.
The last time I had occasion to look at the code list, there were 105,000 separate codes for the grocery in my town. New ones were being added every day, and others were deleted. It's a dynamic process.

What is a UPC used for?
A universal product code is a 12 digit number that is used to identify any item that is for sale. It contains a bar code which relates to specific numbers depending on the width of the bars. UPCs are available on most manufactured items and many if not all foods. UPCs can be identified according to the manufacturer of the product. UPCs can be zero suppressed, or condensed into 8 digits. This is for small labeled items such as canned fish and infant foods. UPCs are different in the US than in Europe. In Europe, 13 digits are preferred. What I would like to know is how long they are good for.
