This is very interesting & good to know

 I am going to watch those bar codes a LOT more now... I am busy reading the ingredients.. Boy.. shopping is a full time job!!!

 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 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 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 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
471  ...  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!
