Keep in mind that, with the exception of baby food, there is no federal standard in the US for measuring when food is no longer safe to eat. So the “expiration date” you see is just a manufacturer’s best guess at how long their food is still fresh. Even if it’s past that date, it’s usually still safe to eat. Hell, canned food can stay safe to eat for years.
