 You might want to take this with you when shopping. 
 It's worth printing this and cutting it out to have in your wallet or purse.  Let's stop the outsourcing of our jobs.
 
  
 ALWAYS READ THE LABELS ON THE FOODS YOU BUY-- NO MATTER WHAT THE FRONT OF THE BOX OR PACKAGE SAYS, TURN IT OVER AND READ THE BACK---CAREFULLY!
  
 With all the food and pet products now coming from China , it is best to make sure you read label at the grocery store and especially Tesco / Asda when buying food products.
  
 Many products no longer show where they were made, only give where the distributor is  located.
 It is important to read the bar code to track it's origin.
  
 How to read Bar Codes .... Interesting!
 This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you.

 The whole world is concerned about 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 right to know, but the government and related departments 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 2 or 3 digits are:
 
 690-692 ... Then it is MADE IN  CHINA
 00 - 09 ...  USA      &  CANADA
 30 - 37   FRANCE
 40 - 44  GERMANY
 471 ....  Taiwan
 49 ... JAPAN
 50 ...  UK
 84 ... SPAIN
