itss the experation date
its an expiration date or a sell by date meaning the product should be sold by the date
In the United States, a "sell-by" date identifies the date by which the item should no longer be offered for sale. That should allow the consumer enough time to use the product. It is not an "expiration" or "use-by" date. If a store is still offering food that is beyond the "sell-by", I suggest you contact the local health department with jurisdiction.
Yes in the US the most common date seen is not the so called expiration date it is a sell by date. There is no expiration date required on US foods, except for infant formula. The USDA has no idea how you plan to store your food. Some food can last for years if stored properly.So think of it like this, could you think of a reason why a store would sell food that is going to expire the same day they sell it.For instance milk is typically good for 7 days after the SELL by date if kept cool.
Not neccessarily. Anyway, much of the time you can ignore the expiry date - food is usually ok for several daysafterwards.
vegemite expiration date
The expiration date of products is an estimate on how long the product will likely last; it is usually illegal to sell products after their expiration date. The product may well last less than the estimated expiration date, or - more likely - longer than that.
Sell-by is the date the store is supposed to be responsible for getting rid of it by. Use-by is the date guranteed safe to eat by, but they are supposed to be moddest and last beyond the expiration date (the use-by date).
The expiration date is in Julian code... Google that to get your expiration date.
