Because of the other writing on the package, I’m wondering if because its sold on the international market and dates would get very confusing and possibly harmful.
If you buy fresh tuna and the country of origin date code is MM/DD/YY while you’re DD/MM/YY or YY/DD/MM or YY/MM/DD you could end up with year-old fish or worse. So yeah.
And no, it won’t always be something easily detectable by look and smell like fish.

More harmful than a literal code?

ISO 8601 specifies YYYY-MM-DD and that’s that, at least for the Gregorian calendar. I don’t know why people bother with other formats.
