This question has been bordering me for long because I have not received a suitable and a direct answer to it, I don't see why some products like toothpaste, tomato paste, pack of maggi, Tin tomatoes etc will be hiding expiry date on the pack of the products, the most annoying one is GALA, you will have to strain your eyes before you can see the expiry date which is not usually very clear... I don't know if anyone of you have observed this, the only product I know that the expriy date is always clear is Fine chemicals( chemicals that are produced in small quantity and have a high degree of purity) eg: paracetamol or drugs in general... Please give a geniu answer Nairalanders.
