    Default How To Read Bar Codes



    ALWAYS READ THE LABELS ON THE FOODS YOU BUY–NO MATTER WHAT THE FRONT OF THE BOX OR PACKAGE .


    With all the food and pet products now coming from China, it is best to make sure you read label at the supermarket and especially when buying food products. Many products no longer show where they were made, only give where the distributor is located. The whole world is concerned about China-made “black-hearted goods”. Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ? The world is also concerned about GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) foods; steroid fed animals (ex: 45 days old broiler chicken). It is important to read the bar code to track its origin. How to read Bar Codes….interesting ! If the first 3 digits of the bar code are 690, 691 or 692, theproduct is MADE IN

    CHINA. 471is Made in Taiwan . If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 00-09 then it’s made or sourced in USA. 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:

    890……MADE IN INDIA
    690, 691, 692 … then it is
    MADE IN CHINA
    00 – 09 … USA and CANADA
    30 – 37 … FRANCE
    40 – 44 … GERMANY
    471 …….. Taiwan
    49 ………. JAPAN
    50 ………. UK
