Yesterday I saw this statement on a jar of mayo at Walmart and the date was Oct. 2017. I have seen dates like this at other stores so it got me thinking. I went on the FDA website and the definition read as follows,"...indicates when a product will be of best flavor or quality. It is not a purchase or safety date". So, OK but I question the use of the term "quality" in this definition. It could be interpreted in many ways. So I am going to look for this note on every jar and bottle from now on not out of concern for the safety rather for the freshness of the contents.
