Be Aware....

Last month the news about nearly 53,000 children in China have been made ill by milk powder contaminated with the industrial chemical melamine. The reason why Philippines and some other countries, suspends china milk imports. Philippine health officials have found melamine in two out of 30 milk products from China that have been tested for the industrial chemical at the center of China’s latest food-safety scandal. And in connection with this, I received a forwarded email about how to differentiate which country is the product made. It's said that you can tell it by first 3 digits of the barcode which is the country code wherein the product was made. For sample all barcodes that start with 690.691.692 until 695 are all MADE IN CHINA and 471 is Made in Taiwan. 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 is 690-695 then it is made in China .
