MRE's are typically stamped to inspect 3 years after the pack date, so 2008 sounds about right. At least this is how it's been for me. The 0073 is confusing though because that should be 2000, I don't think that's a 2010 date code, but again I could be wrong as I'm going off what my experience has been.
