How to read Bar Codes

Hello,

How to read Bar Codes


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 is really interesting.
GREAT WAY TO "BUY USA & CANADA AND 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
a
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.


BUY AMERICAN THE JOB YOU SAVE MAYBE YOUR OWN....

This is not quite the truth. The first three digits are for the
country or economic region where the barcode was ASSIGNED, not the
country or economic region where the product was MANUFACTURED. Check
out the correct information on snopes:

I have two boxes at hand with bar codes beginning with 022 and 054. Both
of them are clearly marked "Made in China", one of them on the bar code
label itself.

The more capital letters used in those things, the less likely they are
to be true. And the more likely they are to be featured at Snopes
(www.snopes.com/), UrbanLegendsOnline (http://urbanlegendsonline.com/),
About.com (http://urbanlegends.about.com/), etc.

That particular one goes back at least to late 2008. If you want to
spread them before they get debunked, you have to make sure they are
fresh.

However, the multiposting across so many groups (without setting a Reply
to: group) indicates to me that you probably don't care. I thought
Google Groups disallowed that.

Hello,

Here in The United States Of America wehave something called
"Freedom", and i feel Goggle settles into the intelligent, gentle flow
of it. When in the Communist nations i suspect Google stiffens into
the insanity of slavery and complies.

You don't have to be fond of someone to allow him or her liberty. For
instance, I hate Harry and hope he falls in a hole and dies as people
walk by him and ignore his cries for help. But he has a right to speak
his alleged mind and even spew his lies and even refer people to
lying, hate-screeching websites.
