      In the US, expiration dates aren’t a thing. The date on the product is just the last date the company will guarantee it meets their quality standards.

        With one exception. Baby food/formula. Those companies do not fuck around with the dates, because they got regulated.

      Are you sure you do? Expiration dates are a factor when buying food, longer shelf life usually boosts sales.
