   How to read Bar Codes ... interesting!



 

This is really interesting. 

GREAT WAY TO "BUY USA & CANADA  AND NOT FROM  CHINA!!

 This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you.  


          
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 RESCUE 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:

690-692 ... then it is MADE IN  CHINA  .
00 - 09 
...   USA   &  CANADA
30 - 37 
...   FRANCE
40 - 44 ...   GERMANY
47 ...  Taiwan
49 
... JAPAN
50 ...   UK

BUY USA & CANADIAN MADE by watching

for "0" at the beginning of the number. 

We need every boost we can get!
