I have a question about the articles on bar codes. When referring to the bar code do you include the single number to the far left side of the number, or do you refer to the first set of 5 numbers. I am trying to verify where food is processed and it is confusing to say "refer to the first numbers".

if a bar code looks like this:   0  36000 29145 2 Where does the identification number for the Country source begin?

00-09    US and Canada 30-37    France 40-44    Germany 471      Taiwan 49       Japan 50       UK 690-692   China
