I wrote to Gluten-free Pantry to ask how to interpret their product codes and decipher expiration dates on products, because I bake in spurts, when the mood hits me, and other times, the mixes can sit on my shelf for well over a year. (I know. Freezing them helps and brown rice goes rancid and yeast goes dead.)
This is their reply. DaVinci code is easier to understand! No. Just kidding. I think this really helps. I wish there was a universal code, though.) Lin
Hello,
Thank you for your email. Our product codes are based on production dates. They are usually a 5 digit number (ie21351 or 2135-1). The code breaks down as follows:
The first three digits represent the day of the year the product was made. In the example above 213=August 1.
The fourth number is the year. Our example 5=2005
The last number is the batch of the day, our example 1=First.
So 21351 >>> 213 5 1
translates to August 1, 2005, the first batch of the day.
The products are good for at least 1 year, and possibly longer provided the packaging is not torn.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Elli Surkes
