What is the date code and how is it interpreted on the food container?

The date code for products produced in the United States is most often printed on the bottom of each container to provide the following information:

The first letter indicates the manufacturing facility: S02057
The first two numbers indicate the month it was processed: S02057
The second set of two numbers indicate the day it was processed: S02057
The last number indicates the year it was processed: S02057

Example: date code printed is S02057

Interpretation: Produced in Stockton, California on February 5, 2007

Some imported canned products are manufactured in Brazil or Argentina which will contain a date code structure that is different from products produced in the United States. For assistance with foreign date codes or for any questions concerning our products, please call our consumer hot line number of 1-800-523-4635 anytime between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Central Standard time, Monday through Friday, or in the summer between 7:45 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. Friday.

What is the expiration date on a can of Hormel Chili, Stagg Chili or any other Hormel Foods canned product?

For maximum flavor and freshness, we recommend use by the "Best By" date printed on our can. However, the shelf life of the product is indefinite as long as the seal remains intact, unbroken and securely attached to a can that has been well maintained. It is suggested that all canned products be stored in a cool and dry environment to keep the flavor adequately preserved. Our food is processed with a vacuum seal and is cooked at a high temperature which makes it a shelf stable item.

What is the shelf life of a Hormel Foods product in an unopened can?

The processing techniques utilized by Hormel Foods makes the canned product safe for use indefinitely if the product seal remains intact, unbroken and securely attached to a can that has been well maintained. It is suggested that all canned products be stored in a cool and dry environment to keep the flavor adequately preserved. For maximum flavor it is recommended that the product be used within three years of the manufacturing date. After that period of time, the product is still safe to use however, the flavor gradually declines.

Thanks for the official word Librarian!

Just made a trip to Costco. My entire family loves spam.

I probably convert a couple dozen spam haters a year.

Spam breakfast sandwich. Crispy thin sliced spam on toast with mayo and a fried egg.

Spam kelaguen with lots of chili pepppers. Thats how we do it back on Guam baby!

[RCJeeper]

kelaguen - Ohhhh how I miss the stuff, especially chicken.

All this spam talk is making me hungry for the stuff, Think I'll make a pot of rice and some spam steaks.

[paul0660]

Spam and pineapple pizza.

It's good bra.

Opinions are like arm pits ------

If the average person looked real close at how all their commercial food was processed they may never eat food outside their own home grown fruit, veggies and livestock.

Personally I don't care, it doesn't bother me. I've lived to long and have been very healthy to worry about it.

OP--Thanks for the heads up, it is a deal.

[madland]

Spam,egg, and potato breakfast burritos..ummmmm..takes me back to my childhood days. Or spam breakfast sandwiches..oh yeah!! Gonna have to school my kids this weekend on the other premium breakfast meat they've been missing out on!!

[AAShooter]

Dry practice more, save on box of ammo, and you can eat real food!

[44fred]

And I thought all Costco's pricing was the same statewide.

[Blackcrow]

I like to cook with spam, one thing I like to make when out camping with buddies is fried rice, spam, peas, egg, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and pepper. Poor mans pork fried rice. But you get a lot of food to feed people from one can of the spam. Fast easy cooking.

Nope, worth calling around on big purchases.

Sure, it may not be the most palatable foodstuff, but it belongs in every prep pantry. They'll be eating it on Mars someday.

[eville]

just picked some up. thanks.

[steelrain82]

Had spam fried rice just two days ago. Regular spam is too salty for the wife so this low salt version may be great!

[PPD#6]

Yum, a pair of grilled spam slices fried to a crisp over some hot scrambled eggs, toped off with some really cold salsa and you got yourself an awesome breakfast. Yes, you also have your weekly sodium intake, but nothing that a little sweating can't fixed.


By the way, you can get a similar price on Amazon when you subscribe to a regular shipment, you can always cancel if you don't want it. Amazon, has all the flavors that Costco doesn't offer.

+Eleventy-bazillion! I have always hated baloney .

[k1dude]

I just bought 2 packs at Costco a couple days ago. I love the taste of Spam but it'll clog your arteries and kill you. But if SHTF, you won't care. You'll just be hungry and will eat anything. I like the fact that Hormel even states it will last indefinitely. That was the clincher for me. It's going into long term storage.
