It might be the Julian date (I have no idea where the name comes from) which is just basically January 1st is 001, December 31st is 365, and the rest of the year is between. So this would be around December 15th.
We used it for food expirations on some things at the convenience store I used to work at.
The name comes from the name of the person who first proposed the Julian Calendar, Julius Caesar.
Wow. Calendars AND salads? Is there anything that man couldn't do?
He couldn't stop himself get stabbed in the back by his homies.
Don't forget the child delivery method!
He was a buay man with all the salad and calendar making and had no time to just wait around for a kid to come out whenever they felt like it.
And a haircut!
Fun fact, Caesar salad is named after the guy who invented it, an Italian living in Mexico at the time.
Caesar crossed the Atlantic? Dang. He just keeps getting more impressive!
Seems useful if you’re trained to read these, but it seems like a kinda shitty system to be slapping on stuff for sale to the general public.
I suspect they did it so people wouldn't be put off from buying something close to expiration.
In fairness to the people I worked for, they only put it on stuff with a short shelf life anyway, so it was all fairly close to expiring. Also, it was a convenience store. Most people ate it right away.
This seems to be the most probable answer although I have no idea what year it is.
