Explanation of Product Code Information

Every product produced by the Village Company contains a stock keeping unit (sku) that appears
both as a bar code and as a number beneath the bar.  For example, the sku for Sesame Street 16oz.
is 3530326721. It is depicted on the back of the bottle. Each product also includes a manufacturing
code that is printed on the bottom of the package during the manufacture of the product. The
manufacturing code depicts the date and time the product was produced, as well as other
information that helps determine specific ingredients used in the manufacture of
the product. It is there in case we need to trace the origin of the product. 

Because our products are produced on a variety of manufacturing lines, the code varies by
product. The sku number and manufacturing code are important pieces of information to have
if you ever wish to contact us about one of our products. Below are directions for reading
the manufacturing code on our various products:
