Expiration dates however, are another matter. If/when you can find them on packaging, they’re often unreadable/worn off/too tiny to see without magnification.

I wish the Feds would force manufacturers to print the expiration date either on the white nutrition label, or directly above the UPC code — 8 pt or larger black type on white background.

On food and non-alcoholic packaged beverages, yes. Find me the nutrition facts on a bottle of whiskey.
