Why Are Shelf Life Tests Important?

The shelf life of a food product depends on multiple factors, including:

  • Internal characteristics: Quality of ingredients, moisture content, acidity levels, and pH.
  • External factors: Storage, transportation, and packaging materials. Conducting shelf life tests allows for:
  • Defining accurate expiration dates.
  • Ensuring that products are safe and acceptable to consumers.
  • Reducing the risk of market recalls and protecting your brand’s reputation.
