For those who may be curious about expiation dates, I just got some Provia 100F from B&H Photo, dated June of 2020.

Stored reasonably well, that should be good for another decade before you start seeing noteworthy degradation.Does B&H freeze or refrigerate their film? I know i should be fine with a iso 50 slide film that expired in march. Uh.. will i?

Well I ordered 5 rolls so we will see. I wish they would discount there 120.I emailed B&H with this question about the Velvia that expired in March 2018 and was told it was not refrigerated.
That is precisely why Kodak new Ektachrome is so important. Only Kodak can generate a buzz so big across all media around the world which may ignite a new interest for slide film (including cross-processing it in C41) among current film users and potential new curious ones.
This has been said by many real insiders and experts for well over a decade, and yet fresh E6 film still on sale, with two new products likely to appear in the foreseeable future. Most pros will have dumped their dSLRs by the time E6 film disappears for good.Another sign that E6 is on life support.

As reported here in this thread, some film stock was short dated, other film stock was fresh yet quickly out of stock. Selective reading may highlight some interesting factlets, which may or may not fan the intended controversy, but it hardly draws the complete picture.E6 film sells so well it's short dated!!

Selling short dated film, or any other commodity with a seel by date, is an indication of an inventory prediction error.

You're so wrong. Discounted brown bananas means that bananas are on life support and will soon disappear entirely. ;-)
Arguing whether E6 is about to die or not won't help it, what will is go out to your shop and get some fresh Velvia and Provia, and enjoy the beautiful results on a projector. We are lucky enough to be receiving a new E6 film, so its important to keep the labs supporting it.

Or the short dated film was in Fuji USA's (or someone else's) inventory, and they have contracted with B&H to help them deal with it.

I rather think that the term "Kodak" is communicated pretty well by more experience shooters to the new shooters, in fond and rose-colored terms.Does it really need Kodak?
Kodak as brand is already unknown to young people.
And think of all that hype an virgin manufacturer consisting of a handful of people as The Impossible Project succeeded to generate.
