Please, always read the labels on the foods you by. No matter what the front of the box or package says, turn it over and carefully read the back, please. It could affect your health.
With all the food and pet products now coming from China, it is best to make sure you read label at the grocery store (especially Walmart) when buying food products. Why? Many products no longer show where they were made or manufactured, they only show where the distributor is located.
Therefore, it is important to read the product’s bar code to track it’s origin. Knowing how to read a bar code may be useful when grocery shopping, if a product’s origin is of concern to you. It also helps you buy more US and Canadian goods and fewer products from China. Because of several past issues with products made in China, it is understandable that the world is concerned about China-made “black hearted goods”.
Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products “MADE IN CHINA “, so they don’t show from which country the product is made.
This is our right to know,, but the government and related departments never seem to educate the public—therefore we have to rescue ourselves.
How to differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China:
If the first three digits of the barcode are 690, 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA.
- 690, 691, 692 — CHINA
- 00 – 09 — USA & CANADA
- 30 – 37 — FRANCE
- 40 – 44 — GERMANY
- 471 — TAIWAN.
- 49 — JAPAN
- 50 — UK
Remember to buy USA & CANADIAN made goods, look “0” at the beginning of the number.
