I bought frozen BBQ eel and the best before date says LJ349. What does this mean? - Lemmy.World

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?
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.
