Canned goods don't generally have an expiration date. If they are open-coded, it is usually a 'best by' or 'best before'.
Canning manufacturers don't necessarily want the general public to be able to go through stock and pick out the youngest codes. That could make it hard to sell older, yet perfectly good product.
In the U.S., there must be some kind of production code on low acid canned food or acidified food, either on the ends of the can, on the jar or on the label. The code they use will vary with each company and they can redesign them at any time. The UPC bar code is not the production code. Contact the manufacturer or distributor (info on label) and ask them to tell you how old the product is from the code.
Here's one website that put together an interpretive list of can codes:
