Yeah, tis true.

I work in the whisky industry, and our bottle codes are as follows.

L9001CB000001

L9 - Year of production
001 - 3-digit day code (1st jan obviously in this case)
CB - Bottling line
000001 - the bottle number, 1-2-3 etc

This is the case with most production, if you look at a spirit bottle and see the etched number on the inside, you will see summat similar.

P.S, Sorry I didnt say earlier, I hope the wee fella's ok.
I hope you get the result you want from the co.
They did make a mistake and I dont wanna say they should pay, but they certainly should recompense you for your worry.

Make this right.

Most of the printed dates of manufacture of food I've come across in work is in 4 digits. ie 9300 where 9 is the year and the other 3 numbers are the Julian date .... 300th day of 2009

HTH

Depends who it is being produced for.

I used to work for a cannery, and we produced for Sainbury, Tesco, M&S and Asda amongst others and they all had different formats.  Admitted it was 25 years ago though.

Regardless of the date the littleun suffered straight away from eating it.

Technology today the till should have picked up on the date via a barcode, sadly it doesnt work this way.




Hope the littleun's going to be ok matey.    and I agree with LD , the littleun;s seld defence mode has kicked in and and looked after the little guy.

Hope to God all goes well mate, my best wishes to you.

well another sleepless night i think he got mot of it up but it doesnt stop me getting up 50 times in the night. also with the date issue there is also a production date that is 01/08 so i think that rules out it being the other way round. but he seems to be ok at the minute. im just glad it wasnt a meat based jar.

Not good, hope the little one is over the worst of it now, keep us posted on the outcome with the co-op

Sorry to hear of your child's sickness due to the incompetence of retail staff.  It is bad enough happening to an adult, but to a child it is every parents worse nightmare.

I agree with all previous comments that you should take this a lot further with Trading Standards and HSE, along with engaging a good solicitor!

I wonder what other products are out of date in this store as their stock maintenence disciplines seem to be very poor to allow such bad rotational practice to persist that results in use by dates of 2008 to be still on the shelf in 2009!  Mind during my 38 years in the retail trade I witnessed far worse!! i.e. Box of chololates out of date by 10 years!!    To say they had bloomed was an understatement!

Can we have a quick update on this one please?

How's the little fella now?

Has the manager come back to you as promised?

The  baby i fine now was sick a few more times but nothing to bad and he is back to his normal self. Right just got off the phone  to the guy after i phoned the store and asked him to ring me because i was going to tradeing standards and the local papers. A couple of minutes later surprise surprise he called me back. I said to him that i was not please at all that there was no phone call and said that i would give him a chance to get back to me i am now waiting for the call back as he has to talk to his boss.

[rikki_essex]
