Tracking your food products origin? Read the bar codes!


Consumers in these days are paying more attentions on the origin of a product, especially food products. Well, we can't blame them since there is so many counterfeited goods being sold out there. This is our right to know and educate ourselves. 

So, I would like to share with you guys on how to figure out some bar codes. I think this is important and less people know about it. How to differentiate between China and Taiwan products? This is how to track its origin.
