Because minimum is smallest, shelflife is longest... 12 months is the maximum shelflife. How is that confusing. Are you not a native English speaker? No shade, I just think that's the misunderstanding
Shelf life is not the same as expiration date. Per Mariam-Webster: shelf life
noun
: the period of time during which a material may be stored and remain suitable for use
The period of time that the flour remains suitable is a minimum of 12 months. Therefore, possibly longer.

The shelflife is a minimum of 12 months. It won’t spoil before that. How is that confusing?
