    I’d say two. Look at the two to right of it the pixels match

    But another 2 Pixels would be missing. The 7 above seems to show that the first two rows of those digits were printed completely.

      You care whether something you already ate would have expired 7 months vs 9 months later?

      From the other comments it seems to me that OP doesn't care about the BBD, but just about figuring out which digit it is. For fun, I guess.

        2 or 5. If I had to guess, it would be 2

        1: no
        2: Possibly
        3: no
        4: no - no examples, but I don't think any format would have the 2 dots at the bottom left corner
        5: Possibly - no examples though
        6: no
        7: No
        8: no
        9: No - no examples, but same reason as 4

          The 2 doesn't have a flat top. I say 5.

            I can narrow that down to 1 and 9, because it's definitely not the month of nontober

              Yes but the there is printed like a normal three. The font on a computer screen showing 3 has the left edge of the three arced down. In a can I’ve never seen it arced down.

                  My vote is to taste and smell the fucking thing. This is what every chef in every kitchen you eat at has always done. That will tell you if it's edible. BBD is a suggestion, so a few months out of date means wildly different things if it's been kept at an average of 20c or 30c.

                  I've tasted shit that was 5 years past BBD. Didn't taste good, but didn't cause any harm. Trust your taste and smell to tell you what's bad. Evolution spent millions of years tuning your senses.

                  Looks are also important. Botulism doesn't have a taste or smell, but the can will often be swollen or at least pressurised, so never eat a swollen can.

                    that is a 3.

                    the 3 above has been cut off as well.

                    no other numbers are flat on top and open on the back.

                      If it were a 2, I think the left side of the 2 may have been cut off

                      Very crude markup:

                      • Green: The dots I think were included
                      • Red: The dots I'm assuming you're referring to (in which case I would agree with you)
                      • Blue: Showing the (extremely rough) alignment. Based on the 7, there's a max of 5 dots across for a given character. Indicating there is a potential row on the left that may either be the actual left side of the character (in which case it would be red and you would be right), or it's also a misprint (which then it ccoouulldd be green)

                        It is a 5.

                        Nothing left to guess. All others can be ruled out with the dots that we actually see.

                        2 can be ruled out because there is one dot wrong in the upper left corner.

                        3 can be ruled out because there is one dot wrong in the lower left corner.

                        7 can be ruled out because there is one dot wrong in the lower left corner.

                              That is becaus the 3 you are seeing also misses a column of dots on the left side.

                              All numbers are made up of 5 colums of dots, but the 3 you recognize has only 4 colums visable.

                                  No, it cannot be an 8 because of the dot in the top left corner. Compare it to the other 8 there.

                                      I think it's a 3, and I think the top one has also been cut off.

                                        The top left and bottom right dots should line up entirely but it's a misprint so I don't think an eight can be discounted entirely:

                                        (I used a rectangle to overlay to show the alignment against a known straight line)
