Remove duplicates in a CSV document using Notepad++

Question

I am using notepad++ and I am trying to remove duplicates...

apple, green, supplier
banana, yellow, supplier
grapes, geen, supplier
apple, red, supplier
apple, brown, supplier
grapefruit, yellow, supplier

I would like to keep just the first instance of apple so the end result would look like this

apple, green, supplier
banana, yellow, supplier
grapes, geen, supplier
grapefruit, yellow, supplier

Anyone have an example?
