There is only one explanation for inventory on hand here. With 'cost effective' production tools in place, there will always be an overrun, resulting in on hand inventory. If they need for example 460,000 units produced for current orders, the next cost effective break will be produced, whatever the number is, be it 475k, 500k, etc, also given current cash flow status, all are involved in the purchasing process. On the contrary as well, this is a 'real milk' product. Unlike Muscle Milk which has none. So yes, even though the shelf life is 12 months, it is in everyones best interest to get it out as fresh as possible to the consumer, and in the most cost effective manner.
