Definition of Shelf life

The amount of time that food retains its desired or acceptable qualities under particular handling and storage settings is known as its shelf life. These desired or acceptable qualities may have a microbiological, chemical, or physical basis and may be connected to the product’s safety or quality. Shelf-life is referred to as the “date of minimum durability” under European legislation. A product’s shelf life is determined by a variety of factors, including the ingredients, manufacturing method, type of packaging, and storage circumstances. It starts when the food is manufactured. 1

Helping people use food safely and intelligently is the goal of shelf-life. Food shelf lives are only really relevant when the product is bought whole and unharmed. When it comes to temperature and how to utilize a product after it has been opened, consumers should always heed the manufacturer’s recommendations. It is also advised that, in order to prevent needless food waste, consumers take shelf-life information into account while making food purchases. 2For example, many items with best-before dates are still acceptable to eat after this date has past, unlike foods with use-by dates.
