Why conduct a Shelf Life Study?

Shelf Life Studies are used by the Food & Consumer Products industry to determine and validate the length of time a product will retain its quality under a certain set of storage conditions.

Shelf Life of a product is used to ensure the safety and quality of products prior to consumer release. During the Shelf Life of a food it should be:
- safe to use
- retain anticipated quality traits that are characteristic to the product
- meet any nutritional claims that are indicated on the label




When should you do a Shelf Life Study?

A Shelf Life Study should be conducted on all new products. Additionally shelf life studies should be done when there are any changes to a product formulation, processing operation, packaging or storage conditions.
