Why Are Shelf Life Tests Important?

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

  • Internal characteristics: Ingredient quality, moisture content, acidity levels, and pH.
  • External factors: Storage, transportation, and packaging materials.

Conducting shelf life tests allows you to:

  • Define accurate expiration dates.
  • Ensure products are safe and acceptable for consumers.
  • Reduce the risk of market recalls and protect your brand’s reputation.
