That's pretty much it. The info there is also misleading since they test various products but don't say how much melamine was detected! So if a product is just marginally safe, we don't have a clue. Talk about a waste of effort!


Plus it seems that many other countries have tested same items and have banned them already, but this website says otherwise and many HK stores haven't pulled them off the shelves yet.

here's an interesting trivia to know where products originated from if products do not have a made from tag


most products have a barcode, and they use the ean13 system.


The first two or three digits of an EAN-13 barcode identify the country in which the manufacturer's identification code was assigned.


below are some barcodes


690 - 695 - China

00 to 13 - US and Canada

471 - Taiwan

958 - Macau

489 - HK

93 - Australia

50 - UK


etc etc.
