We use only Julian date code for shipping records, identification and tracilblility .
We ship regularly to Costco and never had issues. Last line (in red ) says its not acceptable.
I will highly appreciate Any recommendations or experiences with Costco on this issue .
This is stated in Costco's Food safety Expecttions June 2018 :
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
At a minimum, all product sold to Costco must be marked with a use-by, sell by or best before date that
can be used for traceability/ recall purposes. Produce items should also include a packed on date or
scannable barcode that can provide traceability recall information. Julian code dating is not acceptable.
Thanks
