Original Note:
Leading digits aren't reliable to determine country of origin. An Israeli organization issues codes beginning 729, but the goods may be produced anywhere. https://factcheck.afp.com/social-media-posts-share-misleading-claim-barcode-prefixes-can-show-if-product-made-israel Further, UPC codes for U.S. and Canada omit a leading zero, so could begin (0)729 with no connection to Israel. https://nationwidebarcode.com/upc-country-codes/
