Current law states if it will not parish in 90 days there is no need for a best before date.
Stores blame the companies and companies blame the store.
They both do business with in the law.
In the mean time we get to buy unknowingly bad product.
Ex. Dr.Oetker products put the code on the side, pressed in.
3305A yes this product was made May 2nd 2004. The product was rancid, but they said they were within the law...

Yes we have to watch what we eat.. >:(
