More and more milk products from China and Taiwan having problems.. We really have 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

Nowadays, China businessmen know the consumers do not prefer products "made in china", so they are using Global Recognition of BAR-CODE for China, and avoids printing " Made In China".

However, you may now refer to the barcodes, if the first 3 digits are 690-692 then it is made in China
