How To Read Our Manufacturing Code

  · Caramel Turtle Brownie Mix, Chocolate Supreme Brownie Mix and Ultimate Fudge Brownie Mix 12 months
  · Cookie Mixes, Muffin Mixes and all other Brownie Mixes  18 months


SMALL BOXES (RETAIL BOXES)

Continental Mills products have a Best By Date and Manufacturing Code printed in a blue box on the bottom outside flap of the package.  This code tells us important information about the manufacturing of this product.  The code reads as follows:

  · Best by: Suggested Date to use the product to ensure best taste and performance. (i.e.: 01/16/12)
  · The next three letters (i.e.: DGG) indicates plant information.
  · The following 4 numbers (00:37) are a time stamp.

Using the example below: 01/16/12 indicates the 'best if used by' date.  DGG is our Plant Information.  00:37 is the time this product was produced.
