Made in Country Identification from Barcode

Do you know how to differentiate 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 printed on products Made in Taiwan .

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

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
