agree  marybro: medications are stamped with an expiration date...food has a "sell by" date
1 hr
  -> Thanks.
neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: I think the text is about a policy of not selling perishables. If it were about medications, the opposite would be true: you would NOT handle them if they had an expiration date of OVER 12 months.
7 hrs
  -> I also wondered about that. Of course, without context it's hard to decide.
agree  tsadan: Perhaps they want pharmaceuticals with a longer time period for the expiration date.
