I have been out of the grocery store business for a bit but I will try = ) If it looks like code instead of an actual date then follow this. Not all companies use this method but it may help you decipher some of the codes.
The first letter you see will represent the month....
A=January
B=February
C=March
D=April
E=May
F=June
G=July
H=August
I=September
J=October
K-November
L-December
Next set of 4 numbers is the day/year for example A2610 would be January 26th 2010. The rest of the code will be where it was made for example NYC=New York City
EDIT: I just found this site and it will give you more information on different date coding.

Some is straightforward.
On the bottom of a can of S&W Black Beans, it says MAY2010

usually it will be in month/year or year/month (12/2007 or 2007/12) with or without the slashes. Usually it will say best buy or sell by

if a can looks like it could explode any second - DO NOT eat it
otherwise you should be fine
