idunnololzI bought frozen BBQ eel and the best before date says LJ349. What does this mean?
I looked around the packaging for other clues as suggested by another Lemming but I didnβt find anything. In fact I found the same thing printed on the front.
πΈβπ΅βπͺβπ¨βπΊβπ±βπ¦βπΉβπͺβπ·βOn a Chinese food package, βBest Before LJ349β typically refers to the expiration date, although the code βLJ349β doesnβt follow a standard date format. In this context, βLJ349β is likely a batch code or internal reference used by the manufacturer. The manufacturer uses this code to track production specifics, such as the location or production line and date.
JrockwarThanks GPT, very useful
I thought it was helpful in the sense that thereβs likely no way to relate the date code.
I mean, you could have just said that instead of the unhelpful bullshit GPT apparently put out. Or just not commented at all if you didnβt actually have anything helpful to add.
Meh, I thought it was useful, maybe next time I should attribute GPT. No need to get bent up over it. It did attempt to give extra information that wasnβt in the thread at the time.
Itβs Japanese not Mandarin too. I see γγͺγ - unagi, which is definitely Hiragana
AatubeIt's not a loan word so it's written in Hiragana.
Ah, fair! I only very recently started learning some Japanese, so beyond hiragana and katakana, I recognize basically nothing. I absolutely wouldnβt be able to recognize the others as Cantonese!
