Title: HOW TO READ BAR CODES
Post by: fayt on April 17, 2013, 08:04:04 PM
ALWAYS READ THE LABELS ON THE FOODS YOU BUY--NO MATTER WHAT THE FRONT OF THE BOX OR PACKAGE SAYS, TURN IT OVER AND READ THE BACK CAREFULLY!
With all the food and pet products now coming from China, it is best to make sure you read label at the supermarket and especially when buying food products. Many products no longer show where they were made, only give where the distributor is located. The whole world is concerned about China-made "black-hearted goods".
Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ? The world is also concerned about GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) foods; steroid fed animals (ex: 45 days old broiler chicken).
It is important to read the bar code to track its origin. How to read Bar Codes....interesting !
If the first 3 digits of the bar code are 690, 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan . If the first 3 digits of the bar code are 00-09 then it's made or sourced in USA.
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: 890......MADE IN INDIA 690, 691, 692 ... then it is MADE IN CHINA 00 - 09 ... USA and CANADA 30 - 37 ... FRANCE 40 - 44 ... GERMANY 471 ........ Taiwan 45 or 49 ........JAPAN 489...........HONG KONG 50 .......... UK 57 .........DENMARK 64..........FINLAND 76.........SWITZERLAND and LIENCHTENSTIEN 471......... is Made in TAIWAN (see sample) 628.........SAUDI ARABIA 629.........UNITED ARAB EMIRATES 740-745.........CENTRAL AMERICA 888...........SINGAPORE
All 480 Codes are Made in the PHILIPPINES.

eto na naman.. nakita ko na naman to.
Hoax lang toh mga pre..
"Again, a bar code’s prefix only allows you to determine where the GS1 member organization who issued it is located. In no way does this indicate where the contents of the packaging originated. The best way to see where a product originated is by looking at the packaging. Import laws in the U.S. require any product manufactured outside of the country to clearly state its origin. This means that even if the barcode rumor above were true, it would still be easier to just look for “Made in China” than to memorize a list of 3-digit country codes."
