food product dating and safety - usda
Some foods, when stored properly, are good indefinitely.

Manufacturers provide dating to help consumers and retailers decide when food is of best quality. Except for infant formula, dates are not an indicator of the product’s safety and are not required by Federal law. (USDA).

For more information on food dating and food safety, visit the USDA website.
