How do you read your labels to determine the date of manufacture? I have had several interpretations and would like clarification
Question by: tikki on Jan 28, 2025, 12:52 PM
Thank you for contacting us.
The label should be read as month, day, and year (MM/DD/YY). This format allows us to determine the manufacturing date.

in follow up to my previous question, Safer's has indicated that the date of manufacture should be read as year, day, month, ie: LBL172110 is 2017, 21 day, 10 month. so according to the MSDS sheet this product would've expired (or should be used before) October 21, 2019.

My BTK bottle had A081522 stamped on it. Does this mean it was manufactured August 15th, 2022?
Question by: Iris Otterson on Apr 10, 2025, 2:51 PM
Yes, the code A081522 stamped on your BTK bottle indicates that it was manufactured on August 15, 2022.
As long as the product has been stored appropriately—in a cool, dry place and sealed when not in use—there is no concern regarding reduced efficacy due to shelf life.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or need additional assistance.

What is the meaning of the code A081424 on the BTK bottle?
Question by: Jocelyn chouinard on May 16, 2025, 8:21 AM
Hi, thank you so much for your question. These numbers mean the Revision Date of the product.
Answer by: Victor on May 16, 2025, 3:36 PM
Please clarify your manufacturing date code and edit your previously answered questions about this appropriately. Some answers say mm/dd/yy others say year day month and another says it’s just a product revision date. The same answers also say 2 year effectiveness and another says no loss in effectiveness if stored correctly. All very confusing.
Question by: Craig on May 24, 2025, 9:13 AM
Hi, thank you for reaching us. The label should be read as month, day, and year. Store product between 0 degrees C and 20 degrees C to maintain optimal stability/longevity. As long as the product has been stored appropriately, there is no concern for reduced efficacy as a result of shelf life. Once the container is opened, the shelf life will be approximately one year.
Answer by: Guillermo (Admin) on May 28, 2025, 8:52 AM
Je lis sur Internet que: «Le BTK étant un organisme vivant, ne se conserve pas plus de 18 mois. Il est donc important de vérifier la date de péremption ou de fabrication sur votre bouteille. »
Je viens d'acheter ce produit chez vous, cependant,mis à part ce numéro: A081424, je ne vois aucune date de péremption ?
Expliquez-moi.

Bonjour,
Je comprends votre inquiétude et c'est une excellente question.
Le numéro A081424 sur le produit est en fait la date de fabrication. Votre produit a donc été fabriqué le 14 août 2024.
Tant que le produit a été stocké correctement (selon les instructions), il n'y a pas lieu de s'inquiéter d'une perte d'efficacité.
