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
47 … Taiwan
49 … JAPAN
50 … UK
BUY USA by watching for “0” at the beginning of the number. We need every boost we can get!
Interesting, thanks. Do you happen to have a link listing all of codes for all of the countries?
Very interesting and thank you. I do try to buy American made goods when it is at all possible.Does this apply to everything with a barcode,or only food related items?
hmm…good question Bear! I still had not time to dig up the info where I retrieved this, I posted this as a blog around a year ago…
