Food country of origin?
We buy a brand of products sold at our local grocery store. Stamped on the bottle is the note: "Prod of CA/AR/BR"

Presumably, CA is California and AR is Arkansas. What the heck is BR? British Romania? BelaRus?


:wtf:

1. I'd guess CA is Canada
BR = Brazil?
AR = ?
Wouldn't stuff made in USA say US or USA?
What is it?

6. Serious?
That makes more sense than my guesses.


Why aren't food manufacturers required to disclose the countries of origin more clearly?!?
