On many Fontana products like this one you will actually find two dates printed on the bottle with 6 months between them (typical Fontana product shelf life). The first date is the Production Date shown on the bottle as "PROD: L DAY MONTH YEAR" which is the date the item was manufactured, e.g. 22 JUN 2030. The second date is the Best Before Date (i.e. Expiration Date) shown on the bottle as "BEST BEFORE / MEILLEUR AVANT: DAY MONTH YEAR" which is the date by which the manufacturer recommends using the item for optimal product taste, e.g. 22 DEC 2030. Customers often incorrectly think the Production Date is the Best Before Date (Expiration Date). It's a common issue because it is somewhat unusual to have the two dates printed on a product. Each seller can have different inventory with different dates depending on when they received it from their supplier. If you would like to confirm the actual Best Before Date of the product please reach out to a specific seller to ask before ordering to avoid potential confusion and filing inaccurate and unnecessary complaints. Inaccurate complaints risk deactivation of this product listing which means you will not be able to order it in the future!
