Hi all, does the white circular sticker on the side of a ration pack denote the packaging date?
Whats the best before date on these rations, 3 years?

the PD in the code stands for production date. Most items in an ORP have a BBD of roughly 2-3 years. The mains are good to go for 3-5 years. I have had ORPs that were 5 years old and they were good to go.
