    Peter,

    My packet of US-05 liste 09 2016 so the date is a best by date.

    Cheers!

    Jack

    BTW Caution: Some of the 2015/16 dates can be confused because of the "dot matrix" printing used.

    Totally agree...bought a few packs of 05 and after getting home, I thought it said 02 2015, so I used them up as fast as I could. When pitching the last pack, I noticed the dot printing actually said 02 2016, not 2015. Oh well

    Thanks, Jack. The price was right, but the date wasn't. Caveat emptor.
