My niece sent me this via FB today. I know we read barcodes for different reasons but thought this was interesting:


HOW TO READ BAR CODES... (everyone must know)
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 label at the supermarket and especially when buying food products. 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 which one is made in Taiwan or China ? The world is also concerned about GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) foods; steroid fed animals (ex: 45 days old broiler chicken).
It is important to read the bar code to track its origin. How to read Bar Codes....interesting !
If the first 3 digits of the bar code are 690, 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA.
471 is Made in Taiwan .
If the first 3 digits of the bar code are 00-09 then it's made or sourced in USA.
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:
890......MADE IN INDIA
690, 691, 692 ... then it is MADE IN CHINA
00 - 09 ... USA and CANADA
30 - 37 ... FRANCE
40 - 44 ... GERMANY
471 ........ Taiwan
45 or 49 ........JAPAN
489...........HONG KONG
50 .......... UK
57 .........DENMARK
64..........FINLAND
76.........SWITZERLAND and LIENCHTENSTIEN
471......... is Made in TAIWAN (see sample)
628.........SAUDI ARABIA
629.........UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
740..........745 - CENTRAL AMERICA
All 480 Codes are Made in the PHILIPPINES. Share it!

My Fruit Factory Fruit Hearts have a barcode of
5 060036 011550

BUT they also have on them Produced in China so it's not a fool proof method:)

My clicksnap has tracked for my Coke & lemon

wookeyhole1

did my first ever c+c @ Tosco this morning for the coke. 6x24 coke and a lemon for £21. then hopefully £12 cashback = bargain thank you for this. Im not a big drinker for the beer so didn't do that one.

Just had an email from quidco £4 cash back when you make 4 purchases from 'faster paying' sites by 26th sept. could be interesting.

By the way, the Beer has to be a glitch, not a promo.

I just did the maths on Boddingtons, and by my calculations (which could be wrong) I reckon that for the 3 boxes I bought for £22, the Alcohol duty due to be paid is £17.26, which when added to 20% VAT (£4.40) means that the government is taking £21.66 of my money, leaving just 34p for Boddingtons and Tesco to split.....

Sales VAT on £22 is £3.67.

If purchase VAT was £4.40 then T would get a VAT refund of 73p
