Can you identify product types from barcodes?

Dear all,

I have a basic question about barcode which until now, i couldn't find a definite answer from the internet.



My question, is there standard numbering/unique identifier used in the EAN/UPC 'product code' which can tell automatically the product type that the item will belong to? for e.g. fresh meat, cereal, etc.



If my hunch is correct, I'm betting there isn't such a thing. Then my next question is that if i wanted to sort my items into different product category into inventory by just scanning the bar code, would it be safe to assume that i would need to create a separate bar code for inventory purposes, instead of using the EAN/UPC bar code?
