It's likely May 27 2020, the 148th day of 2020.

Still fine to drink as long as it hasn't been in the heat and smells okay.

There's a chance that's the day it was canned too, and not an expiration. In that case it'll be good through the end of the year.

edit: assumed it was a weird ban can for some reason. what's the product?

Looks like a manufacture date, not expiration date.  Alternatively it's a best by date, but the first 3 numbers are meaningless except to the company, probably the 148th can produced that day meaning its best if use before 2020 expires and still good, but not peak good after. Most cans do not not have expiration dates, they have nave best by dates.

It’s a coded manufacturing date. Does not mean it’s expired. More for the manufacturers to know what batch it is if something wrong happens with it so they can put a recall in with retailers. If you really wanna know just email the company and they will tell you

First set of numbers is telling the day of the year / the year it was canned/packaged.  So, 148/20 = May 27th, 2020.
Second set of numbers is the canning code.  Used for tracking.

Doesn't really matter anyway they have to put a date on it. Canned goods are usually still safe to eat long after their printed date.

Yeah thats the production date for sure

Probably has eternal shelf life unless states otherwise on the packaging

Does it say anything else? And what is it?

I bet they save a shit load of money on ink with 3 digit days to years instead of 4 digit and month/day to year. It's smart. Ink producers capitilize for sure on it.

If that is a liquid malt extract, I'd say it's still fine for making agar with, though you may want to adjust the recipe if it calls for dry malt extract. If you're making beer with it, I would still use it, but wouldn't waste any other high quality ingredients with it. Brew something cheap.

I had a fast answer from Coopers. I didn't think they would answer. They say I am right for asking cause they write on the bottle it's the "best befor date", but in fact it is the production date.

Sometimes the date is not printed anywhere near the part that says "Best before". When I was a kid I thought it was intended as general advice that its condition was in continuous decline, so the sooner you eat it, the better.

I don’t consume anything from a dented can after I saw what happened to a methed out kid that hadn’t eaten or slept in days that ate from a dented can.

I don’t think I have ever seen anyone that violently ill with food poisoning before or since.
