Below
are the most frequently asked questions by our consumers.
Q.
What is the expiration date on a can of STAGG® Chili?
A.
We do
not include an expiration date on the can. The shelf life is
indefinite
as long as the seal is intact and the can is in good condition.
STAGG® Chili
is processed with a vacuum seal and is cooked at a high
temperature
which makes it a shelf stable item .
Because of
the processing techniques, as long as the seal is intact, this
product is
safe to use indefinitely. Storage of cans in a cool and dry
environment
will help preserve the flavor. We recommend that for maximum flavor,
the product
be used within five years of the manufacturing date. After
that, the
product is still safe to use , however, the flavor declines
gradually.
Q.
What do the codes printed on the can mean? How do I interpret the codes?
A.The
codes identify the plant location, production date, time of
production
and confirm the production formula.
The first
letter indicates the manufacturing facility.
The next 2
numbers indicate the month the product was processed
The next 2
numbers indicate the day it was processed
The next 1
number indicates the year it was processed
For example
: a code date of S02050 means it was processed in Stockton ,
California
on February 5, 2000
The next set
of numbers identifies the hour and minutes that the product
was processed
For example:
a code of 18:40 means it was processed at 6:40 pm
The next line
of information provides formula identification, internal
production
shift information and the USDA
establishment
number 199C.
For example
: STAGG CLASSIC Chili USA CL
