@kyle_pegasus @mcc starting in 2027 barcodes will be shifting from 1 dimensional line based ones to QR codes in a URL format. this change will allow consumers to get more information about the product, and will allow manufacturers to include metadata such as batch numbers and expiration dates to allow for easier handling of product recalls or keeping products within code.

@kyle_pegasus @mcc that was not an AI response. i have been the only one really into food safety at any job i've had. at my last job i was asking them for years to let me handle date coding in just one department, when they finally relented i found over 100lbs of expired candy out for sale, some of which expired over two years beforehand. in another department, they were selling "fresh pork" that was almost 40 days out of code.
