HOW TO READ BAR CODES...(everyone must 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, the product is MADE IN CHINA.471 is Made in Taiwan .

If the first 3 digits of the bar code 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 bar-code -

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 Share it!!!
