Bar Codes, Country Product Codes.

Where are your products made, this is a way to tell.

THIS IS GOOD INFO TO KNOW, AND A NECESSITY TO KNOW,> IF YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT HUMAN FOOD, OR OTHER ITEMS, ORIGINATING IN CHINA, I.E., CAT FOOD, DOG FOOD, AND RELATED THINGS. The first 3 digits of a bar code is the country code wherein the product was made. You might wish to print out the bar code below and keep it with you when you go grocery shopping:-)

All bar codes that start with 690, 691, 692 through 695 are Made in China. Hershey's moved their operation from PA to China, Cadberry is made in China (and was found to have unacceptable chemical substitutes recently), baby formulas, etc., etc. China knows consumers are leery of products 'made in China' so, Chinese products (food, medicine, etc.) generally no longer show the country of manufacture. One may now refer to the bar code, remember if the first 3 digits is 690-695 then it is Made in China .
