Sell-By Date: Refers to the last day a retailer can display a product for sale; typically a food is safe to eat for 10 days after the Sell-by Date if refrigerated properly. Use-By Date: Refers to the last day a product will maintain its optimum freshness, flavor, and texture. 2.0 out of 5 stars Very short 'Best if Used By' date: less than 3 months February 25, 2019 I've purchased the 45 pouch box from two other vendors in the past two years and both had 5-month 'Best if Used by' dates. High-acid canned foods (tomatoes, fruits) will keep their best quality for 12 to 18 months; low-acid canned foods (meats, vegetables) for 2 to 5 years. 'Sell by date' is a less ambiguous term for what is often referred to as an 'expiration date'. Most food is still edible after the expiration date.

Locate the product code on the top flap of the cereal box. Read the first three letters or two numbers to determine the product's expiration month. For example, a product that expires in February will start with 'FEB' or '02.' Interpret the two numbers following the first three letters or first two numbers as the product’s expiration day.
We sell entire trailer loads of soda (by the case) each week. Given this high rate of turnover, we rarely have issues with product going out of date in our warehouse (the occasional exception being specialty products that are in lower demand, particularly diet products in bottles, which carry a much shorter life span than can sodas). However, we often field questions about product shelf life from concerned customers, particularly due to the complex ways in which some manufacturers choose to stamp their products.
Unfortunately, there is no consistent standard. Some manufacturers stamp a sell-by date, while others stamp a born-on date. Some expiration dates are easy to read, while others appear as complex codes that need to be deciphered and can easily be misinterpreted. The codes are subject to change, but here is our latest attempt at a summary guide: 7-Up/A&W Cans: Manufacture Date 7-Up and A&W brand cans are stamped (typically on the bottom of the can) with a manufacture date in MM DDD Y format. Shelf life is typically considered to be 9 months for regular sodas and 3 months for diet sodas. Also see our previous post: Of course, Coffee Distributing Corp. Carries dozens of sodas from a variety of manufacturers in a multitude of package sizes, and we can special-order just about anything that we don't typically stock.
Expiration dates can be hard to locate on a product and even more challenging to decipher. Currently, the United States does not have a regulated or standard system for coding expiration dates on food, except for those on baby food and infant formula. All other dates and codes are added voluntarily by manufacturers. Expiration dates are unknown but as of today they all work. Esmy April 2, 2018 at 7:11 pm. This 3 codes worked for me as of 04/2/18 thanks. Sorry Tina – but they no longer but Kellogg’s Family Rewards codes on the product packages. Angie Pierce February 24, 2017 at 5:57 am.

How To Read Kellogg's Expiration Codes
As a follow-up to our post explaining how to read, here is some information about Mars' dating system. This information will be useful both to our vending customers -- who purchase candy bars individually from our snack machines -- and to our regular office customers, to whom we deliver candy by the box. Mars prints a manufacture code on its products. It contains one digit, representing the year, and two digits, representing the week. The product is then considered 'fresh' for one year following that manufacture date.
Any other digits or characters that you see on the packaging are other codes that do not refer to the shelf life of the product. The same code should appear on both the box and on the individual candy bar or bag. The month codes are read as follows: • A: January • B: February • C: March • D: April • E: May • F: June • G: July • H: August • I: September • J: October • K: November • L: December Note: Nestle brands that we sell include, but are not limited to: 100 Grand, Baby Ruth, Butterfinger, Chunky, Crunch, KitKat, and Raisinettes.

Cheez-It is a cheese cracker manufactured by the Kellogg Company through its Sunshine Biscuits division. Approximately 26 by 26 millimetres (1.0 by 1.0 in), the square crackers are made with wheatflour, vegetable oil, cheese made with skim milk, salt, and spices.
Cheez-It crackers were introduced in 1921 by the Green & Green Company, a manufacturer of snack crackers based in Dayton, Ohio, and were marketed using the tagline 'A Baked Rarebit.'[1] Sunshine Biscuits acquired Green & Green in 1932. Sunshine Biscuits became a subsidiary of the Keebler Company in 1996. Keebler, in turn, was acquired by Kellogg in 2001.
