A method of managing time-sensitive items which relies on identification
information of RFID labels associated with the items. The method includes
the steps of identifying the time-sensitive item, and obtaining the
expiration information from a web site of a seller of the time-sensitive
item. In another form concerned with products, the method includes the
steps of identifying an EPL associated with the product, causing the EPL
to interrogate an RFID label on the product, receiving identification
information from the RFID label, and obtaining the expiration information
about the product using the identification information from the RFID
label. The method additionally compares the expiration information with
current date information and either causes the EPL to display a lower
price or assists with removal of expired instances of a product through a
report.
