Melamine Threat

Another message about melamine....don't know how true this is but it's good to know
The whole world needs to know of "Made In China" 'black-hearted' goods. Do you know how to tell which products are made in the USA , or in the Philippines , in Taiwan, or in China ?

Here's How:

The first 3 digits of the barcode identify the country code wherein the product was made.

For Example: ALL barcodes that start with 690, 691, 692, etc. up to and including 695 are all MADE IN CHINA.
Barcodes starting with 471 are on products Made in Taiwan.

Taiwanese barcode

You have a right to know. But government and related departments never inform or educate the public. Therefore we must educate ourselves and be vigilant.

Today, Chinese businessmen know that consumers will not select products 'Made in China'. So, they make every effort not to show or state the country of origin on their products. However, you can now refer to the barcode.

DO remember if the first 3 digits are one of those between 690 and 695 inclusive then it is a product Made in China .

OTHER BARCODES:
00 ~ 13 USA & CANADA
30 ~ 37 FRANCE

628 ~ Saudi-Arabia

Please inform your family and friends. Be aware! And help others to be aware!
