How to read Bar Codes .... interesting!

GREAT WAY TO "BUY USA & CANADA "
AND NOT FROM CHINA!!
The whole world is concerned about 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.

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 and CANADA
30 - 37 FRANCE
40 - 44 GERMANY
471 .... Taiwan
49 ... JAPAN
50 ... UK
BUY USA / CANADIAN MADE by watching for "0" at the beginning of the number.
We need every boost we can get!
