this information gives how long the product can be used once it is opened so 12M means 12 months

It is on all sorts of cosmetics / toiletries now and as Jules says, is to show how long you can safely use it after opening. The ones I have seen have varied from 3M to 36M, obviously on different items!

I know, I asked this question a while back, Surely its easier to have a use by date.

I agree that a sell by date would be clearer, but surely no-one would have opened toothpaste or shampoo bottles for longer than 12 months anyway!
