How do I determine remaining shelf life on Thick-It Instant Food Thickener or Purees?
A Julian code date is located on cases of Thick-It Instant Food Thickener as well as the bottom of cans. Example: B6212D14 B: is the manufacturing plant 6: is the year or 2006 212: is the day of the year (365 days in a year so 212 is July 31st) D14: is intended for manufacturer use For Thick-It Purees there is a code that appears on the case under the product description. Example: Seasoned Chicken Puree 02236 12:55:26: produced on the 223rd day of 2006 at 12:55 Each can of Thick-It Puree also has a code on it. Example: DO746 PI/1510 DO746: stands for the 4th batch made on the 74th day of 2006 PI: is a co-packer code 1510: is the 1510th can of the batch Thick-It Instant Food Thickener has a quality shelf life of 30 months from the date of manufacture and Thick-It Purees has a quality shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture.
