I Was Not Made In China

How to recognize if items are made in China, especially for groceries.

With all the food and pet products now coming from China, read the label at the grocery store, especially Walmart, when buying food products.

Many products no longer show where they were made, only give where the distributor is located, but you can read the bar code to track the origin.

If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690, 691, or 692, the product is made in China.

00 to 09 = made in the US or Canada

30 to 37 = France

40 to 44 = Germany

471 = Taiwan

49 = Japan

50 = UK

Not true if you Google this. This is false information.

@Khenpal1 yes, like it says partly false. If a Chinese company manufactues their product in the US they get a different barcode.
