Is this information about "Bar codes" Reliable?

HOW TO READ BAR CODES...(everyone
must know)
ALWAYS READ THE LABELS ON THE
FOODS YOU BUY--NO MATTER WHAT
THE FRONT OF THE BOX OR PACKAGE
SAYS, TURN IT OVER AND
READ THE BACK---CAREFULLY!
With all the food and pet products
now coming from China, it is best to
make sure you read label at the
supermarket and especially when
buying food products. Many products
no longer show where they were
made, only give where the distributor
is located. The whole world is
concerned about China-made "black-
hearted goods".
Can you differentiate which one is
madein Taiwan or China ? The world
is also concerned about GMO
(Genetically Modified Organism) foods;
steroid fed animals (ex: 45 days old
broiler chicken).
