The products you receive may routinely have the lot/batch number, manufacturing date, and/or expiration date printed on it.
The product labels may vary depending on the country of origin. This is generally what we see:
- Korean products usually print both the lot number and the expiration date.
- Japanese products usually print the lot number only. If a date is printed, it would typically be the manufacturing date.
- Taiwanese products usually print both the lot number and the manufacturing date.
This is a generalization only (there are exceptions). Not all manufacturers follow the same format.
Here is a quick translation/guide to reading the dates:
MFG = Manufactured date
EXP = Expiration date
製造日期 = Manufactured date
製造日 = Manufacturing date
出廠日期 = Manufacturing date
有效日期 = Expiration date
標示於瓶身 (西元年/月/日) = Marked on the bottle (year/month/date)
批號 = Batch number
保存期限: 3年 = Shelf Life is 3 Years
保存期限: 5年 = Shelf Life is 5 Years
