Collection: Date Coders

Why is Date Coding Required?

When you go to the store, what’s one of the first things you look for when selecting a product, aside from your go-to brand and the packaging’s condition? It’s the date code; date codes are labels on perishable goods that communicate when these goods will be at their peak quality, when the product was packaged, or the last day you can safely eat them. Thanks to date codes, distributors and retailers can communicate important safety and quality information to consumers.

There are three reasons date codes are required to be on products, with the first being to inform the consumer. The following reason is to comply with the law because even though the federal government has little control over date coding, other regulatory bodies still have requirements that must be met. Retail standards also have to be met before products hit the shelves, and one of the most common ones includes making sure date codes are present. Lastly, since there's no national standard, manufacturers of the same industry will typically follow the rules they set amongst themselves.
