I got this in email--how accurate, I don't have a clue---

The whole world is afraid of China-made "black hearted goods".

Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ? If the first 3 digits of the barcode are

690, 691, or 692,

the product is MADE IN CHINA .. 471 is Made in Taiwan .

This is our human right to know, but the government and related department 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 690-692 then it is MADE IN CHINA .

00 - 09 USA & CANADA

30 - 37 FRANCE

40 - 44 GERMANY

49 - JAPAN

50 - UK
