New shelf-life testing & guidance | Determining shelf-life with confidence
We recently launched our new determining shelf-life guidance to help customers understand how product shelf-life is determined. The document, Determining Product Shelf-Life, explains the process from initial study design to interpreting results, helping food businesses plan effective, defensible shelf-life studies. Alongside it we also present additional supporting documentation including best-before guidance.
