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.... Truth will set you free, according to Jesus in John 8:32 |

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.

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. -- Ted Davis ) |

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. -- Will in New Haven |
