Shelf life testing is a critical part of food safety and quality assurance. It determines how long a food product can remain safe and retain its desired sensory, chemical, physical, and microbiological characteristics under recommended storage conditions.
🔍 Why Shelf Life Testing is Important:
-
Consumer Safety: Ensures products are safe to eat over time.
-
Regulatory Compliance: Meets FSSAI and international labeling requirements.
-
Brand Protection: Prevents spoilage-related complaints and recalls.
-
Cost Efficiency: Helps manufacturers plan packaging, distribution, and storage effectively.
-
Quality Assurance: Maintains taste, texture, aroma, and appearance throughout the product’s life.
