Rice date code

1. My guess: 23=year, 25=day, 12=month, 2:21=hour

2. Breaks down as follows:

   Good until the year 23251 using the galactic calendar

   Best when cooked using two parts hydrogen, two parts oxygen

   Must be at least 21 to purchase

3. If it wasn’t advertised as “new crop” I’m pretty sure it ain’t that new

4. The first 5 digits appear to be the Julian (or ordinal) date this was packed, so the answer is September 8th, 2023.

   Edit: The other numbers next to that are probably lot codes for the location and factory this was produced. Converter [here](https://www.longpelaexpertise.com.au/toolsJulian.php) for future reference.

5. Is it packaging date/time? That would be in future.
   Or is it Best Before date? That would be quite exact at 02:21.

6. A aways wanted to cook that brand rice. A local sushi place use it they has bags stacked along a wall i asked to buy a bag but no luck.
