The US military has a program to grade the efficacy of "expired" medication.

The generous version is that it's only feasible for a company to make a guarantee of efficacy to a point and the cynical version is that people will buy more as long as the expiration is some economically tolerable length. The .MIL has enough to make the efficacy tests worthwhile.
