Value Your Money
With all the food and pet products now
coming from China, it is best to make
sure you read the label, especially when buying
food products at a supermarket. Many products
no longer show where they were made, only give
where the distributor is located. The whole
world is concerned about China-made "black-hearted goods".
Can you differentiate between a product made in Taiwan and another in
China? The world is also concerned about GMO (Genetically Modified
Organism) foods; steroid fed animals (e.g. 45-day-old broiler chicken). It
is important to read the bar code to track its origin.
Let's know how to read bar codes:
² If the first 3 digits of the bar code are 690, 691 or 692, the product is
made in China while if it is made in Taiwan, it'll show 471.
² If the first 3 digits of the bar code are 00-09, it is made or sourced in USA.
This is our right to know, but unfortunately, the government and related
departments never educate the public, therefore we have to 'rescue'
ourselves. However, you may now refer to the barcode and remember the
first digits as follows:
890… India • 30–37… France • 40–44… Germany • 45 OR 49… Japan • 489... Hong Kong • 50... United Kingdom • 57... Denmark • 64... Finland • 76… Switzerland • 628... Saudi Arabia • 629...UAE • 740–745… Central America
Interestingly, all 480 codes are made in the
Philippines. Hence, to prove yourself to be a
smart buyer, always read labels on the food items you buy—no matter what the
front of the box or package says, turn it over and read the back carefully!
