Barcodes identify the country of manufacture

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

With more and more melamin laced products from China and Taiwan, we really got to check where food products are produced.

Here is a way to differentiate Taiwan made products and China made products : by looking at first three digits of its Bar Code.

If the 1st 3 digits are 690, 691 or 692 - China made

If the 1st 3 digits are 471 – Taiwan made

Happy shopping
