How do I read the code on the product?
There are many different coding schemes. Generally, if you see a three digit number, it is what is called a "Julian' Date," that is, the day of the year number, so January 1st would be 001 and June 1 would be 181. This is often followed by a letter which indicates the production shift. For example:
Mediterranean OrganicTM Organic Olives
Production Date (P)facility(00)month(00)day(0)year (0)shift
Example: P121563
P= facility
12 = December
15 = day
6 = year
3 = shift
Shelf Life: 3 Years
