How do you read date codes on laffy taffy candy?

Laffy Taffy date codes are typically printed on the wrapper, often in the format of a Julian date followed by a year. The Julian date indicates the day of the year, with 001 being January 1 and 365 (or 366 in a leap year) being December 31. For example, a code of "12323" would mean the product was made on the 123rd day of the year 2023. Always check the specific packaging for any variations in format.
