Where do you read the Julian Code on Manischewitz products?
The batch code and expiration date on our products is called a Julian Code. The first three numbers tell the day of the year and go from 001 to 365 and the fourth number tells the year. If a code reads 1230 it means that the expiration date is the 123rd day of 2010 and if it reads 1231 the expiration date is 2011. The letters are related to the plant where the product was made and the last numbers are the UPC number.
