Something I grabbed somewhere. Not verified, will see if I can get some confirmation and post later.

690-692 ... then it is MADE IN CHINA
00 - 13 ... USA & CANADA
30 - 37 ... France
40 - 44 ... Germany
47 ... Taiwan
49 ... Japan
50 .... UK

BUY USA & CANADIAN MADE by watching for "0" or "1" at the beginning.


OK, seems to be validated, except Vietnam seems to use also 681 (can of tuna on my shelf).
