[QUOTE="Michael Cacioppo, post: 827973, member: 57235"] The first 3 digits of an EAN bar code is the country the bar code was assigned All bar codes that start with 690, 691, 692 through 695 are assigned to China. Hershey's moved their operation from PA to China, Cadberry is made in China (and was found to have unacceptable chemical substitutes recently), baby formulas, etc., etc. China knows consumers are leery of products 'made in China' so, Chinese products (food, medicine, etc.) generally no longer show the country of manufacture. One may now refer to the bar code, remember if the first 3 digits is 690-695 then it is most likely made in China . 00 ~ 13 USA & CANADA 30 ~ 37 FRANCE 40 ~ 44 GERMANY 49 ~ JAPAN 50 ~ UK 57 ~ Denmark 64 ~ Finland 76 ~ Switzerland and Liechtenstein 471 ~ Taiwan 480 ~ Philippines 628 ~ Saudi-Arabia 629 ~ United Arab Emirates 690, 691, 692 to 695 ~ China 740 ~ 745 - Central America SAMPLE: 471 is made in Taiwan [b][Broken External Image][/b]: Corrected thanks to Tom.
