People don’t look at the nutrician label. I can’t imagine people taking the time to fish around for a bar code. Although this is interesting information. I bet most of the food will be from China...lol.

Question is does that mean the product was actually manufactured in the US or just packaged in the US?

WOW! I was searching on a pkg at walmart yesterday in the dog stuff area to find out where a rawhide chew was made...could only locate that the product was ‘managed’ or something by walmart. I do not want to buy products for my dogs that are made in foreign countries that may use unsafe preservatives or dyes, etc. Now I know to look at the BAR CODE.....THANK YOU SO MUCH. Good info!

The first digits are the country of registration of the UPC, not the country of manufacture of the item. If the company has a single item manufactured in multiple countries it can have them all labeled with the same UPC.

Are you sure this is right?
I’m looking at a book right now with the bar code 9 780805078046 51700
And on the frontis page it says “Printed in U.S.A.”
I’m also looking at a bottle of Sanford brand white out with the bar code 0 4154028400 0 and on the bottle it says “Made in Thailand”.
You had better check your facts.

Most outrageous. I purchase some picture frames with a tiny label attached that said Milano.
When I peeled that label off there it was.....CHINA.
They send us poisoned products, and they LIE.

What is your source for this information?
To: Notoriously Conservative
Full list plus some explanatory information. GS1 Prefixes do not provide identification of country of origin for a given product. They simply provide number capacity to different countries for assignment from that location to companies who apply. Those companies in turn may manufacture products anywhere in the world.

I just picked up a package of batteries. Made in China 0457...
Here’s a Quick link for a chain. Made in China 0817...
And a pair of wire strippers. Made in China 0320...
so, you can’t tell squat from the barcode.

Not true! The bar code company code, which is the first half of the number, IIRC, only stipulates the company’s number but does not stipulate where the product was manufactured.

P.S. I own a company and we have a bar code number. (Not that we’ve ever used it) I can package anything I want to with it.

Buy USA! Support Obama!
No more USA for me. I'm shrugging. I'll buy USA when they kick this band of Socialists out of office. Until then, people need to really feel the pain.
