Nowadays there are thousands and thousands of products with a long term of keeping. I think that it is not normal, especially products that all of us know that they can not "survive' more than 5 days, but on the label is written that it is good a month. Do you think that if this kind of product which stayed on the tiers a month is good to eat? I don't think so..
