I bought frozen BBQ eel and the best before date says LJ349. What does this mean?

    This site says to use it in 1-2 months: rivieraseafoodclub.com/…/unagi-freshwater-eel

    As many have said, the numerical digits probably refer to a Julian calendar date. Also to consider, some products list the pack date rather than the expiration date. So it’s possible these were packed in December and are already “expired”.

    Maybe December 2022. But who knows.

    Damn this one is tough my best guess LJ is like how the manufacturer tracks it internally or something like that and the 349 could be like eat before the 349th day of that year. Again this is just a guess probably contact the manufacturer to be 100% clear what that means.

    I mean, is there something to the right? I think not because the français is below so I guess good luck. I’d personally eat it unless you bought it months ago.

      I bought it today. I realized when I was unloading groceries that I forgot to check the best before on it.
