I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.

They are the expiration date though. Why do you say that so confidently if you don’t know what you’re talking about?
These numbers are put on by grocery clerks with a price-gun. All they did was add on however many days the product is supposed to last after it got put on the shelf. So it’s really just some grocery worker not worrying about a date not existing. I woulda done the same thing if I was stocking these tbh.
I schedule all my meetings for March 31st.
What? This makes so little sense I don’t even know how to proceed. It’s an expiration date.
Source: I’m also Swedish like OP and frequently shop at ICA - the biggest supermarket chain we’ve got, who also have their own line of products which are baked/cooked/prepared and packaged centrally and sent out to ICA stores all over the country. Those bagels are one of those products.
