I feel like thats an insult to Al Capone, he ran a soup kitchen during the Depression.

    He also handed out turkeys on Thanksgiving and is the reason we have expiration dates on milk bottles.

    Aside from anecdotal evidence, Snopes was unable to find any proof to corroborate this claim. We know that most major food labeling requirements occurred in the decades following Capone's 1947 death. However, aside from infant formula, there is no requirement to label expiration dates in the U.S. All such labeling is done so voluntarily by food manufacturers.
