Original Note:
Barcodes identify the country of origin of the company, but the product may be manufactured elsewhere (or display another country's code if manufactured in Israel). So 729 on a barcode identifies a company from Israel but not necessarily all products made in Israel. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-barcode-prefixes-origin/partly-false-claim-barcode-prefixes-identify-where-a-product-was-made-idUSKCN22322B
