GREAT WAY TO BUY USA & CANADA AND NOT FROM CHINA!! This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you. 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. Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that most consumers do not prefer products "MADE IN CHINA ", so they don't readily show from which country items are made. However, you may now refer to the barcode...remember if the first 3 digits are: 690-692 ~ CHINA 00 - 09 ~ USA & CANADA 30 - 37 ~ FRANCE 40 - 44 ~ GERMANY 47 ~ TAIWAN 49 ~ JAPAN 50 ~ UK BUY USA & CANADIAN MADE by watching for "0" at the beginning of the numbers. We need every boost we can get!
