The last jar of yeast I bought had it stamped on the label. There might also be a lot or batch humber on it, you don't want a replacement jar from the same lot or batch, it would be dud yeast, also.

Hope the next one works out better. There's little worse for a bread baker than expecting bread and getting a brick.
