    You say “not US”, can you elaborate? In the US, expiration dates mean absolutely nothing regarding food safety. I’m not sure if that applies elsewhere, though.

      Brazil. Here, expiry dates are taken VERY seriously. Fines for selling bad food can quickly rise to hundreds of thousands of dollars per occurrence.

        I imagine in countries with tropical areas, expired food can kill a lot of people very quickly.
