Surely we’ve all handled reading an expiration date before and have wondered if we’re eating something OK or has expired months ago

No, I haven't, and I don't know anyone else who has

Then you've never bought imported food or never got food gifts overseas. Or never travelled to a country that used the format that you don't use.

For example, 06/09/2023 could mean either you're eating something that expires next month, or expired two months ago.
