Date of production (or expiration) for the latter is usually stamped (by means of videojet) on individually sold bottles in the U.S. The primary reason for this is not necessarily that the product becomes contaminated, per se, but rather that the taste is compromised as a result of chemical break-down of the plastic bottles that usually contain the product.
