Best answer:

The Universal Product Code (UPC) is one of a wide variety of bar code languages called symbologies. The UPC was the original barcode widely used in the United States and Canada for items in stores. The first item to be placed under a UPC scanner in a retail store was a 10-pack of Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit chewing gum at a Marsh supermarket in Troy, Ohio, on June 26, 1974.

The first 3 digits of the bar code of any product you buy represents the country. e.g 500 – 509 = United Kingdom

For more codes see:

Though that is only for the UPC type of barcode.
