This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you.
GREAT WAY TO AVOID BUYING CHINESE AT LEAST.
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.
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
471 ... Taiwan
49 ... JAPAN
50 ... UK
And now you know!
