Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce expiration date? Help?

[Little Birdie]

I got four bottles of Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce to add to my stockpile.

First thing I like to do is find the expiration date and write it on the front with a Sharpie. Then I don't shelve by brand, but by exp date.

But...

Some bottles say "100M8" and one says "154M8". Hunh?

Help?

Oh, and it doesn't say if that's an exp date or a production date or a date at all, but it is the only thing on the label that is not part of the label. It's right under where it says Refrigerate after Opening.

The code is only something they can decipher from when they prodced it.
I would call or email them with that code and they should be able to give you an exp. date.

The first 3 numbers would be the day of the year, so using one of your bottles, it's day 100 (I believe that puts you into the month of Apr)that it was bottled. The M stands for where it was produced so it will always be either an M(forgot what it stands for) or an A(Atlanta). The last number is the year it was bottled, so 2008. They are good 2 years from production date unopened. Opened and refrigerated, 4 months.
