Keebler Expiration Date Decoder
Here’s how to decode the code on a Hershey’s wrapper. Hershey uses a two digit alpha-numeric code to denote the month and year of the expiration date. Here’s what the Hershey’s site says:
There is an ink stamped code on Hershey’s products. Within that code, usually at the end, there is a two character code that represents the year and the month until which the product is expected to be within its peak freshness. The first character is a number, (0-9) that represents the year. The second character is a letter, (A-L) that represents the month. A=Jan., B=Feb., etc. For example, a code of 7D is best before until April 2007.
My Hershey’s Twosomes Almond Joy (Limited Edition) bar has a code that’s on two lines:
1BE
7C K2
I’m guessing the 7C is the one I want, so that means that the bar is considered fresh until March 2007.
My York Peppermint Patties:
13NYU
6K
This would expire in November 2006, so I got in just under the wire.
A Heath bar:
14HR2
D 6L
This one would expire in December 2006. Just remember, L is the LAST month!
