How to read bar codes on honey (and other products )when shopping.

Read the first three numbers.

00-09   are the U.S.A. & Canada numbers

690-692 made in China

30-37  made in France

40-44 made in Germany

471 made in Taiwan

49 made in Japan

50 made in the U.K.

Most bar codes are easy to read the above but in some cases the numbers are
two numbers and the code may apply to the second number in the line but the
code has worked for me.
 U.S. & Canada codes start with a lone 0 and then the up to 9 number.

I have been told despite the U.S. seller name the code will always show the
country of origin

Buy U.S.A./ Canada honey in the U.S.!
