How To Read Nestle Candy Expiration Codes
Posted by in Product InformationSince we sell candy via our snack vending machines and also by the full box or case, we often get questioned on how to read the expiration codes. For example, Nestle’s candy products don’t include a clear expiration date, but rather an expiration code which needs to be deciphered.
9J = October 2009; 9H = August 2009
Luckily, the expiration date code is very simple to interpret. It contains one number, representing the year, and one letter, representing the month. Any other digits or characters you see on the packaging are other codes that do not refer to the shelf life of the product. The same code appears on both the box and on the individual unit package.
9J = October 2009; 9F = June 2009
The month codes are read as follows:
- A: January
- B: February
- C: March
- D: April
- E: May
- F: June
- G: July
- H: August
- I: September
- J: October
- K: November
- L: December
Note: Nestle brands that we sell include, but are not limited to: 100 Grand, Baby Ruth, Butterfinger, Chunky, Crunch, KitKat, and Raisinettes.

I need an immediate and accurate response, so i can consume d remaining packs of Nestle Mini rolo. Wanna make sure d expiration first before wanna give it to my friends. thank you very much!
why do the different companies of products like these just have a simple code. Istead it is confusing if you buy different types of products you have to understand all the different codes. I know its is because live in america.DUH!
I am absolutely agree with Roy Karnap. Expiry date must be in simple form such as DDMMYY. I don’t understand why are they making so complicated. At this moment I am looking for expire dates for following two codes:
11480457V2 00:10
11500457V2 16:28
How do I read the expiration on bag on m& m 125ftclvo8
The M&M’s were made in 2011 (the first 1), week 25 (the second and third digits). They are good for 42 weeks from that. Expiration date would be 2012 week 15, first week in May.
How yo read date code E160CT13 024 W03
please explain the printing on my Milky Way bar: 221 c3 nld0311 and on my M&M bag 233ESCLV01
I bought a twix out of a vending machine and it tasted stale, the code on the bar is 228ERCLV. What does it mean?
Kit Kat that has a code of 82F0341B
Then it reads 10 2013 underneath it when’s the end date
I have written some code that converts most of these encoded dates
http://codedate.droppages.com/
most of the codes are born on dates so you would generally add 6-8 months for the exp date

1148 = 5/28/2011
1150 = 5/30/2011
Judy depending on the product the code is E1 = may of 2011 or 024 = 6/20/2010
david 221 = 5/26/12 and 233 = 8/18/2012
nancy 228 = 7/14/2012
devin 10 2013 is august of 2013 and most of the time if a candy has an actual date on it the rest of the numbers are for the location it was manufactured and which batch
You are mistaken on how to read the Nestle candy/Baby Ruth dates. All other resources I have read on Baby Ruth candybars and other Nestle candy bars all go by the production date and uses the Julian Day Calendar code. You have to read the first four digits of the number not the ones you mentioned. For instance..my baby ruth’s first four numbers on the code are 0158. The Julian Code will have it as being manufactured in 2010 on the 158th day. Here is just one of the websites that gives you the ways to read different candybars from Hershey’s and Nestlie (http://www.candyblog.net/blog/category/expiration). Scroll down until you see “What that Nestle code mean”.
