My first job out of college was printing FDA labels for dialysis chemicals. This is not an expiration date - it’s lot info for traceability.
It’s required in case there is a problem with the batch, they can trace the ingredients all the way back to the vendor for each batch. Then, if a recall is necessary, the store will know which lots to pull from the shelf.
This is shelf stable food. It’s not going to go bad in 3 months. Hell, eggs last longer than that.
I wish they wouldn’t. That shit has ruined the last place I lived. Charleston, SC. It is always at the top of those lists. Now it gets swamped with Ohioans from Memorial Day to Labor Day. 50% of the population is tourists. Nobody can drive for shit. Property value is way inflated. And all industry except for services and real estate investment go out the window.
And the local nobleman should have a first go at all maidens on their wedding night to ensure the peasantry is of quality stock for the fields.
