How do you interpret the expiration code on your Kellogg’s brand product? The key is to understand that the expiration date is presented in “MMDDY” format — the first two digits represent the month, the next two digits are the day of the month, and the final digit is the year.
How do you interpret the expiration code on your Kellogg's brand product? The key is to understand that the expiration date is presented in 'MMDDY' format - the first two digits represent the month, the next two digits are the day of the month, and the final digit is the year. Expiration dates on cheese are not carved in stone either, however, and just because your cheese is past its expiration date does not mean it has expired! Use your common sense and your instinct when making the decision to keep or toss a cheese that has exceeded its stated use by date.
- There’s ONE MORE factor that needs to be taken into consideration, TEMPERATURE. So, if Easy Cheese spray was two months past its “product date”, it was never opened, the seal was intact, AND it was never at a high temperature or an elevated temper.
- Additionally, Cheez-Its contain MSG. This, combined with its high sodium content, can induce overeating and contribute towards weight gain, putting you at risk for diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Cheez-Its do not have any nutritional value whatsoever. Any benefit (such as good flavor) is purely subjective.

Cheez-It is a cheese cracker manufactured by the Kellogg Company through its Sunshine Biscuits division. Approximately 26 by 26 millimetres (1.0 by 1.0 in), the square crackers are made with wheatflour, vegetable oil, cheese made with skim milk, salt, and spices.
Cheez-It crackers were introduced in 1921 by the Green & Green Company, a manufacturer of snack crackers based in Dayton, Ohio, and were marketed using the tagline 'A Baked Rarebit.'[1] Sunshine Biscuits acquired Green & Green in 1932. Sunshine Biscuits became a subsidiary of the Keebler Company in 1996. Keebler, in turn, was acquired by Kellogg in 2001.
