Title: Fwd: FW: Learn from BARCODES its SERIOUS STUFF! This is a forwarded message
Interesting reading Very informative advice and worth noting. A week or so ago Current Affair did a doco on frozen vegetables imported from New Zealand. As it turns out if it is a Coles or Woollies home brand there is a more than good chance that the product has come from China. Products made by McCain's, Birdseye and other supposed reputable companies from New Zealand are now purchasing vegie products from China and selling that product under their name. Basically check where it is produced by the comments on the back of the pack and if it says produced from New Zealand and Imported product it has Chinese vegies in it. Put it back on the shelf. I would even go as far as to say even if it has product of New Zealand I would be suspect about where those vegies in that pack come from. I suppose to play it safe unless it has been grown and packed in Australia stay away from it unless you don't mind digesting poisons. Pretty scary stuff!! Learn from BARCODES This will cheer you up hope you aren't having chicken for dinner Please Remember.......the Australian barcode prefix is 93 This will cheer you up PLEASE NOTE - if you love Australian produce and the thought of keeping jobs here, AND you like to eat healthy foods and buy quality products, then please read on. Please also note the Australian barcode prefix is 93. DANGEROUS IMPORTED FOODS There are no food inspection regulations of foods grown or processed in China , Vietnam , Hong Kong or Thailand .. Other world countries are scared of China making 'black hearted goods', but can you differentiate which one is made in Australia , the USA , Philippines , Taiwan or China ? For your Information ... the first 3 digits of the barcode is the country code where-in the product was made. Example: all barcodes that start with 690; 691 through to 695 are all MADE IN CHINA. 4 71 is Made in Taiwan . This is our right to know, but our governments 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 3 digits are 690 through to 695, then it is Made in China . Don't forget, Hong Kong is now China , too. 00 ~ 13 USA & CANADA 30 ~ 37 FRANCE 40 ~ 44 GERMANY 49 ~ JAPAN 50 ~ UK 57 ~ Denmark 64 ~ Finland 76 ~ Switzerland and Liechtenstein 93 ~ Australia 628 ~ Saudi-Arabian 629 ~ United Arab Emirates 740 ~ 745 - Central America All 480 Codes are Made in the Philippines.. DO NOT BUY FOOD PROCESSED IN CHINA , HONG KONG , VIETNAM or THAILAND !!! Remember, there are no food inspection regulations!!! WATCH WHAT YOU BUY. ESPECIALLY 'HIGHLINER' FISH PRODUCTS; all come from China , even though the box says 'product of Canada ', it is from China and 'processed' in Canada , that is, only the coating is added and packaged in Canada. The fish are raised in pens using chemicals that are banned in Canada as cancer causing but legal in China . This was exposed on CBC TV's 'Marketplace'. Please think before buying anything from China . Avoid buying all processed food packaged in China ...Anything goes! We just don't know what else is in those packages. Unlike the United States and CANADA (and Australia , Germany , France , Italy , Great Britian et al) China does not have laws regulating food processing. Basically, do not buy any processed food from China . This includes Hong Kong. MANY companies are using a Hong Kong address to avoid this type of image reputation. These undercover pictures speak a thousand words. Early dawn, starts the day by riding around to collect dead chickens. Asking around for dead chickens. Total of 5 riders are hired by the boss to ride to farms to buy dead chickens. A dead chicken cost 1 RMB and would be sold at 9 RMB after processing. Storage for the dead chickens in the court yard: Carcasses are thrown everywhere. And on the floor.... Four employees start de-feathering the dead fowl after soaking in boiling water from a rusty wok, enduring the pungent odour, but sometimes, it gets so terrible that even the most experienced of the workers would puke. Workers rushing to get the chickens de-feathered. A discarded bath tub being used to soak the bare skin dead chickens.... The contaminated water would have accelerated the decomposition process.. Wearing slippers walking among the chickens before the colouring processing. After the colour dye, its creepy to find that they are quite tenderized. And now presenting the mouth watering Charcoal Roasted Chicken! Send to as many people as possible. Do NOT buy food originating in China (or Vietnam or Thailand)! Take the time to read the labels and look for country of origin! our Health is at Stake! REMEMBER THE AUSTRALIAN BARCODE PREFIX???? IT IS 93 |
