Oh boy, you should not have told me that. It is exactly the kind of claptrap tradition/superstition or whatever that I drive through with the Mongol Hordes, because a horse and cart are not enough. You sit where there is space. I'm feeding you, be happy.

Still, no danger of them being seated below the salt, because there is none at the table.

Since nobody answered the OP question about the use by date I will answer. Its NOT the product inside of the container but the PLASTIC container will leech out bad thigs after a few years. Remember when things came in Glass containers with no expiration date on it. Thats why!!
