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
