Ever wonder where things are made when the information is not readily available on the packaging? Here’s a tip-look at the barcode. The first digits of the barcode indicate the country code wherein the product was made.
For Example:
00 ~ 13 USA & CANADA
30 ~ 37 FRANCE
40 ~ 44 GERMANY
49 ~ JAPAN
50 ~ UK
57 ~ Denmark
64 ~ Finland
76 ~ Switzerland and Lienchtenstein
471 ~ Taiwan
628 ~ Saudi Arabia
629 ~ United Arab Emirates
690 – 695 ~ China
740 – 745 ~ Central America
All 480 Codes are Made in the Philippines.
Thanks for the tip Betty!
