A:
The value of the barcode is normally just a number, it depends on what this number references.
For most products available commercially it is either EAN 8 or EAN 13. To see the breakdown of what an EAN number represents have a look at the following link

Unless the barcode that you are scanning specifically has the expiry date contained in it you will need to load the related information from somewhere else

The link that I gave you was to show the structure of EAN 8 and EAN 13 barcodes. These are the barcodes normally used on sellable products. From the link you will see that the expiry date is not contained in the barcode. You will need to get access to the database where the product is stored to find that out
