Understanding the Barcode on what you buy

Didokova

Very Interesting . . . . . . .

With all the food and pet products now coming from China, it’s best to make sure you
read labels 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 its origin.
How to read Bar Codes . . . interesting!
GREAT WAY TO "BUY USA & CANADA " . . . 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!

Funny, but I was thinking bar-code as in... is it okay to mix beer with hard liquor... or... if I'm so drunk I might puke, is it still okay to hit on your sister....

Would be curious if BenderVonClief was thinking the same thing.

The old saying stands true to this day...

Beer before Liquor, never sicker... Sad

Liquor before beer, have no fear... Very Happy

Trust me, I've validated this many, many many times Laughing
