March 1, 2013 Dear Mr. G: Thank you for contacting us about Clamato. We're always excited to hear from our consumers. Your comments give us valuable input about our brands and how they are enjoyed. We stamp each beverage container with a product date lot code to help identify precisely where and when a given product was manufactured, down to the actual production line and the minute of manufacture. Beverages produced at our company owned plants use one of two production code formats that identifies the date the product was produced. Example 1: LMA09D11G1902 LMA = Plant ID (Not necessary for determining the production date) 09 = Day of the month D = Month (A = January, B = February, etc. Skip the letter I) 11 = Year Example 2: 101811WA1308 10 = Month 18 = Day of the month 11 = Year Again, thank you for taking the time to contact us, Felix. We greatly appreciate your feedback! Sincerely, Kira Consumer Relations
