i'm the person that understands the conflict of interest between companies and the creation of their own expiration dates.

In the US, expiration dates aren't a thing. The date on the product is just the last date the company will guarantee it meets their quality standards.

With one exception. Baby food/formula. Those companies do not fuck around with the dates, because they got regulated.
