If not, how long can you add to the sell by date to get an approximate expiration date?

Talking milk or what? Just use common sense and smell it for one thing to determine if its bad. When in doubt, throw it out. Not worth getting sick over.

Milk, doughnuts, bread, etc. I guess you're right about just using common sense, I was just asking so I know for my own knowledge.
