when you read the bar code.  the first digit is the one way over to the left 
by it's self.

I got this from a friend.  Haven't confirmed the accuracy


This is very interesting & good to know!
YOU MAY LIKE TO READ THE LABELS ON THE FOODS YOU BUY--NO MATTER WHAT THE
FRONT OF THE BOX OR PACKAGE SAYS, TURN IT OVER AND READ THE
BACK---CAREFULLY!
With all the food and pet products now coming from China , it is best to
make sure you read labels at the grocery store and especially Wal-Mart when
buying food products.
Many products no longer show where they were made, only give where the
distributor is located. It is important to read the bar code to track it's
origin.
How to read Bar Codes .... interesting!
This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you.
GREAT WAY TO "BUY USA  &  CANADA " AND NOT FROM  CHINA!!



The whole world is afraid of China-made "black hearted goods".

Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or  China ?

If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690, 691  or 692, the product is
MADE IN CHINA.
471 is Made in  Taiwan .

This is our right to know, but the government and related departments never
educate the public, therefore we have to educate ourselves.

Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products
"MADE IN CHINA ", so they don't show from which country it is made.

However, you may now refer to the barcode -remember if the first 3 digits
are for China & Taiwan , and most other countries have 2 digits:

00 - 09 ...   USA  &  CANADA
690-691-692 ... MADE IN  CHINA
471  ... Made in TAIWAN
49 ... JAPAN
30 - 37 ...   FRANCE
40 - 44 ...   GERMANY
50 ...   UK

BUY USA & CANADIAN MADE by watching for "0"
at the beginning of the number which is USA and “09” is Canada .


We need every boost we can get!
