How to Read Bar Codes - Do you know where your food is coming from??
Bar Codes - Where is your food coming from?
Interesting Information!
ALWAYS 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 label at the grocery store and especially Walmart 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 concerned about 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 692the 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
471 ... Taiwan
49 ... JAPAN
50 ... UK
BUY USA & CANADIAN MADE by watching for "0" at the beginning of the number.
