How do you read a Julian date for expired tobacco?

A Julian date consists of a three-digit number followed by a two-digit year. The three-digit number represents the day of the year (1-365), with January 1 being 001 and December 31 being 365 (or 366 in a leap year). To determine the expiration date of tobacco, convert the Julian date into a standard calendar date by adding the three-digit day to the beginning of the specified year. For example, a Julian date of 12323 indicates the 123rd day of 2023, which is May 3, 2023.
