What is Shelf Life Analysis?
Shelf life analysis is a crucial process to determine the period during which a food product maintains its quality and safety. Through specialized tests, factors such as composition, storage, and environmental conditions that affect the product’s freshness and stability are evaluated.
Benefits of Shelf Life Analysis
- Quality and safety guarantee: Ensures that the food remains safe for consumption throughout its declared shelf life.
- Labeling optimization: Accurately defines the expiration date or best-before date.
- Regulatory compliance: Complies with national and international food safety regulations.
- Waste reduction: Improves inventory management and avoids unnecessary losses.
- Increased consumer confidence: Communicates safety and transparency about the product’s quality.
