    As weird as it sounds, this actually isn’t true in general. Except on baby formula, it’s not required by federal law. Some states require it and some don’t, but it’s more or less put there voluntarily by everyone because they don’t want spoiled stuff going around with their name on it.

      If some states require use by dates, then companies selling nationally will put use by dates on their products whether they make sense or not
