U.S. Code Date Information

General Mills - Code Date Information Sheet

The following overview, of the four methods of coding we use on our products, will help you make these determinations:

Better If Use By Date

Big G cereal, Bisquick and many of the Dessert and Main Meal products use this style coding on the packages. These products are guaranteed to be fresh through this date.

For example: 28DEC01T08105

28DEC01 T08105

Date product should Manufacturing plant information

be used by for best quality

Expiration Date

Ready-to-spread Frosting and Pouch mix products use this style coding on their packages. These products are guaranteed to be fresh through this date.

For example: EXP23DEC01 M 0157B

EXP23DEC01 M0157B

Date product should Manufacturing plant information

be used by for best quality

Sell By Date

Yoplait refrigerated yogurts state this information on the containers or lids. For optimum quality, these products should be consumed within seven days after this date.

For example: 15JUNYJ

15JUN YJ

Date product should Manufacturing plant information

be used by for best quality

Manufacturing Date

The manufacturing date is coded to the calendar year, which begins on January 1st and is completed on December 31st. It is interpreted as follows:

· The first letter of the code indicates the month in which the product was made.

· The number immediately following is the year in which the product was produced/packaged

· The next two digits are the day of the month the product was packaged on (01 - 31)

· The other letters and number(s) in the code represent plant and shift information identifying the location of production.

A code date which reads A429W is translated as follows:

"A" = January

"4" = 2004

"29" indicates the 29th day of the month

"W" indicates production at our West Chicago plant.

(Most of our products have a shelf life of at least 8-12 months.)

Our 12-month cycle is listed below.

A - JANUARY

B - FEBRUARY

C - MARCH

D - APRIL

E - MAY

F - JUNE

G - JULY

H - AUGUST

I - SEPTEMBER

J - OCTOBER

K - NOVEMBER

L - DECEMBER

There is no expiration date on Girl Scout cookies since they are only produced at a specific time of year and delivered and sold within a short time of being made.

However, they are best if used within six months of purchase or up to a year if are placed in a freezer unopened.

You can go to www.krusteaz.com. They have a link that tells you how to read the codes. You may also enter a code and it will tell you the date packaged.
