Each bag of product should have a 7 character code printed on one side, 6 digits followed by 1 letter. The first 5 digits of the code represent the pack date, or Julian date. Here is how to read it: Let\u2019s say the first 5 digits in the code on the bag reads \u201c25032\u201d. The first 2 numbers in the code represent the year the product was packed (25 = 2025). The next 3 numbers represent the Julian date \u2013 the day of that year (032 = 32nd day of the year = February 1st). So, \u201c25032\u201d represents a pack date of February 1st, 2025. You can then use this to determine the best if used by date with the table below. All products must be stored in a cool, dry environment.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;423095&#8243;]Product timeframes[\/vc_custom_heading][uncode_pricing_list values=&#8221;%5B%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Dried%20Blueberries%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2212%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Dried%20Cherries%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2212%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Dried%20Cranberries%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2218%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Diced%20Dates%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2218%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Pitted%20Dates%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2212%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Dried%20Fig%20Pieces%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2210%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Dried%20Pitted%20Plums%20(Prunes)%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2212%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Raisins%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2212%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Dried%20Fruit%20Mix%20-%20No%20Treenuts%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2212%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Dried%20Fruit%20and%20Nut%20Mix%20-%20with%20Almonds%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2212%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Dried%20Fruit%20and%20Nut%20Mix%20-%20with%20Walnuts%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2210%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Natural%20Almonds%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2212%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Roasted%20Almonds%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2211%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Hazelnuts%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2212%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Pecans%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2212%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Pistachios%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2212%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Walnuts%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2210%20months%22%7D%2C%7B%22entry%22%3A%22Potato%20Flakes%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2212%20months%22%7D%5D&#8221; gutter_tab_h=&#8221;2&#8243; tab_gap=&#8221;1&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;33&#8243; text_color=&#8221;color-jevc&#8221; heading_semantic=&#8221;h6&#8243; text_size=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;390570&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221; label=&#8221;Best if used by timeframes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;7&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;5&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;5&#8243; back_color=&#8221;accent&#8221; overlay_color=&#8221;color-wayh&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;80&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; top_divider=&#8221;gradient&#8221; bottom_divider=&#8221;gradient&#8221; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;412562&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-145880","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stutzpacking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/145880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stutzpacking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stutzpacking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stutzpacking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stutzpacking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145880"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.stutzpacking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/145880\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":146254,"href":"https:\/\/www.stutzpacking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/145880\/revisions\/146254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stutzpacking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
