When is the expiry date? [closed]

Honest to god, I tried so hard to identify it. I do see JAN 17 but I'm not sure if its January of 2017 or January the 17th. Plus I see 00:42 there but I'm not sure what it means, but I have a feeling its to do with its creation date.

I have checked on the internet however the Coke Date Expiry System on the cans have changed over time, found it very frustrating :D.

Thank you so much for your help.

PS. I've heard that its possible to drink a canned drink despite how old it is, is this true? That can't be true because in some way or form there is always some form of decay that grows in food/drinks.

There is no expiration date.

At most, it would be a 'best buy' or 'sell by date'.

Is expiry date the day after?

An expiration date or expiry date is a previously determined date after which something should no longer be used, either by operation of law or by exceeding the anticipated shelf life for perishable goods.

In cases where the shelf life exceeds 30 months an expiration date is not required to be placed on the packing, however a period after opening (PAO) is. Period after opening (PAO) refers to the amount of time a product will remain stable and safe for human use after it has first been opened.

Is expiry date end of month or beginning?

The expiry date usually means that you should not take the medicine after the end of the month given. For example, if the expiry date is July 2020, you should not take the medicine after 31 July 2020.

Is expiry date on or before?

An expiry date is not the same as a best before date. These dates are required on certain foods that have specific nutritional compositions that could falter after the determined expiration date. In other words, after the expiration date has passed, the food may not have the nutrient content as described on the label.
