The text says "use by" (do not use after) = "freshness life" (has specified properties until).

Two untagged dates (single line)

23.08.16 - 20.05.17 L236ZR- - 12:53 2

Would seem obvious, but sometimes the production date is to the left of the expiration date.

Kind of unusual.

Both prod and exp, says which is which correctly
