minimum remaining shelf life


Explanation:
This would indicate the time left after delivery of the item. I'm presuming the date would be (over)written by the retailer.

agree  Tony M: Yes, there's a big difference between DLOC/DLU, and the 'time left to go' at the time of delivery to the store, which the retailer is interested in! The big Carrouf near here has milk with a 2 week DLC, my local grocer only gets 1 week; unfair, or what?
