The information in this post is bogus.
But wouldn't it be nice if it was true...
Did you know that you can tell what country a food product comes from by reading the first three numbers on a bar code? For example, if the first three numbers are 471, the food is "Made in Taiwan." Here's more...
CHINA = 690–692
USA and CANADA = 00–09
FRANCE = 30–37
GERMANY = 40–44
JAPAN = 49
and
TAIWAN = 47
USA and CANADA = 00–09
FRANCE = 30–37
GERMANY = 40–44
JAPAN = 49
and
TAIWAN = 47

You're stupid if you believe that.
I have a pkg of cookies that says it is made in Germany but the numbers on the bar code are 4 70569 20030
That number doesn't show up in your list. Now what??? Could this be fiction?
