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 the label at the grocery store and especially Walmart when buying food
products.
Many
products no longer show where they were made, only give where the distributor is
located.

It is
important to read the bar code to track it's origin. How to read Bar Codes .... interesting!
This may
be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you.
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.
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.
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 & 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.
