Bar Code Knowledge

BAR CODE KNOWLEDGE

This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it’s a concern to you.

 

The whole world is afraid of  “China-made goods”.

Can you differentiate which one is made in USA or China ?

If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690, 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA.

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:

690-695 … then it is MADE IN CHINA ..
30 – 37 ~ France
40 – 44 ~ Germany
49 ~ Japan
50 ~ UK
57 ~ Denmark
64 ~ Finland
76 ~ Switzerland & Lienchtenstein
471 ~ Taiwan
480 ~ Philippines
628 ~ Saudi Arabia
629 ~ United Arab Emirates
740-745 ~ Central America

00 - 13 … USA & CANADA

BUY USA by watching for “0″ at the beginning of the number.  We need every boost we can get!
