Check out Bar codes on Aldi products
This is worth knowing, so take the time to read this, especially the 2nd bit.... (SCROLL DOWN)

A week or so ago, Current Affair did a Report 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 on it, I would be suspicious 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're not having chicken for dinner

Please remember.......the Australian barcode prefix is 93

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, The 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 699 are all MADE IN CHINA.

471 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 and CANADA
30 ~ 37 FRANCE
40 ~ 44 GERMANY
49 ~ JAPAN
50 ~ UK
57 ~ DENMARK
64 ~ FINLAND
76 ~ SWITZERLAND and LIECHTENSTEIN
93 ~ AUSTRALIA
628 ~ SAUDI ARABIA
629 ~ UNITED ARAB EMIRATESs
740-745 ~ CENTRAL AMERICAa
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.


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!

Your Health is at Stake!

REMEMBER THE AUSTRALIAN BARCODE PREFIX????

IT IS 93

Whilst avoiding all those Chinese made products at the supermarket, get yourself some tinfoil before it runs out

your acting if i wrote it,

get off your high horse and comment on the article,
i posted in good faith about how where products made in china are being covered up so they can be sold regardless of there true origin,

if your not happy with that then don't blame me i am just the messenger.

Quite right Lethal.
It is an interesting subject....not totally sure it is a fisheries management issue, lol, but it is a fair point, what surprises me is that china can turn out so much vegetable products so cheaply that companies can source it there cheaper than locally.
This is an aussie article though, I wonder if the same runs entirely true for supermarkets etc here in NZ, have you any info on that? I have cousins in hawkes bay that grow veges, peas etc, for watties et al, I am just wondering in we grow enough to feed all our suppliers.
It would not surprise me much if aussie could not, especially in the drought years.
Just because a lot of stuff in oz shops says made in nz, it does not necessarily mean this same product is being sold here.... maybe locally grown vege is sold here, but imported Chinese veges are imported, repackaged, and sent on to oz without being diverted into our shops.
Interesting about the bar codes thing though, eh.
What I don't believe is that we are importing that Basa fish from Vietnam....ye gods! Yuk!

alot of kiwi companies use chinese grown fruit/berries when they cannot get enough nz grown for thier products. usually frozen bags of berries.

there was a recall this year as they found hepatitis in the berries i think it was. exact same happened in canada this year.

Article, more like protectionist fearmongering bull****. Probably came from a "viral" "please tell all your friends this to protect them" Facebook post. In fact based on the "Like" button that got caught up in the copy/paste that's exactly what it is.
 
No food inspection regulations, what a crock. Not only are there regulations but they're strict as hell and the penalty in China for breaking them tends to be getting your head disconnected from your body.

Out sourcing by NZ companies for product DOES NOT help NZ, no workers here paying tax, gainfully employed, at a higher probability of health risk and costs, more reliance on state, SO Companies can make more money which they DON'T pay tax on in NZ, WORKS for ME! Jeez. Best way to destroy NZ, and i'm not a conspiracy theorist.
And this is being repeated continually, downsizing, out sourcing, wage reductions etc.
So what happens when there are no blue collar jobs left ? Who'll pay tax then?

good, innit. I wonder what the lady being interviewed was saying? "This is very good, it adds flavour to the prawns, the sell for a much better price, and as they are for export, no one gets hurt at all!
You have to wonder at the greed of these folks to render an edible product totally inedible.
Happens with a lot of pork meat in china too I am told, they inject the meat with water to make it heavier. One place was taking water directly from a highly polluted river.....when caught, they were all "who....us?"

Very unlikely to be silicone....It will be a gelatin or agar surely?
