HOW TO READ BAR CODES…!(everyonemust know)
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 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
