Check Feed Date Before Buying

[MiMito3]

Just a tip. I stopped to pick up some feed today and checked the date on it like I would do at a grocery store. The date on the bag was 21 July 2022. I pointed it out to the store manager and he said the feed was delivered this week and obviously had been sitting in a warehouse for over a year. Feed that old would definitely be molded after sitting in a warehouse for 14 months.

Please can you tell me how to decode this date label? I sure would appreciate your help

My guess would be 23220 = Feb. 20, 2023... not sure though

Yes, sure looks like a Julian date code.
Not all manufacturers use this system.

Agreed.

It may not be their date stamp, but lacking other visible numbers that resembled a date system, I went with Julian.

Thanks so much. Had no idea what any of it meant.
