How to know if the milk products made in China/Taiwan With more and more milk products from China and Taiwan having problem. We really got to check where the things are produced. Here is a way to differentiate Taiwan made products and China made products : by looking at first three digits of its Bar Code. If the 1st 3 digits are 690, 691 or 692 - China made If the 1st 3 digits are 471 – Taiwan made So please spread the word to everyone......

Amen to that. I was horrified at knowing how many little ones suffered bacause of unscruplous manufacturers who wanted to make a quick buck. Such people should be hung from jthe nearest tree.

Thank you. It's good to know so we can make our own choices. It would be good to know this about every country - do you know if, say, Mexico uses a certain bar code?

No, peavey, I only know about China and Taiwan because of so much publicity towards adultrated milk caontaing melamine, a poisoneous substance. If ever I know, I will definitely tell you.

Thanks for sharing this info. Though I've never used imported milk products, but are helpful for future purchase.
