The date by which surviving larvae in processed food will hatch. (Remember, the government regulations set thresholds below which insects and other contaminants are permitted in the food you eat in order to protect corporate profits.)
Processed food manufacturers presumably need know the hatch-date for their product, so they can set the "sell" by" or "use by" date at an earlier point in time. It may be viewed as better for business for you and your family to eat the food with bugs in it before they hatch so you don't know how contaminated it is.
Hatch-dates are not important for foods that are wet, pulverized, get embalmed in salt, or get sterilized by processing. You wouldn't recognize the contaminants, or at least they will not be crawling.
Hatch dates may be more critical for nuts and grains with a low degree of processing, such as oatmeal, chocolate covered nuts, etc.

All Grandma had to share with the kiddies were boxes of unopened fancy chocolate nuts, several years old. Each chocolate had a telltale pinhole showing where a newborn worm had escaped from its sweet lair, shortly after the hatch-date.

Get the Hatch-date mug.The act of poking the head of a flaccid penis down into the skin around it and while holding that position, grabbing the skin of the scrotum and pulling it up over the spring-loaded tucked penis head. The finished product will look like a shiny egg-of-skin. (if hairless) Then, when you let go... yell “Bwak Bwak, Chicken Hatch!” And watch the penis slowly spring forth from its “egg” as if being hatched.
We used to do this as pre-pubescent children! Loads of fun! hahaha
This may only work for "growers" , not "show-ers"

Get the hatch up mug.When someone or something creates an awkward situation by saying or doing something socially unacceptable that may end all conversation, draw attention and create awkward silence. Side-effects of a hatchy situation may include nervously tugging on your collar, taking a deep sigh, or slowly shaking your head in embarrassment. When something is hatchy it is acceptable to say "hatchy" in any comical fashion. Hatch is a common alternative to hatchy and can be used in the same way.
Bob: "Bill, dont you freaking hate Mrs. Johnson, that bitch fails me on every paper!"
Bill: "That's my mom you dickhead"
Bob: (tugging on collar) "well this is hatchy..."
