An accurate shelf life is essential for food safety, waste reduction, and consumer protection. Under-declaring wastes good product; over-declaring creates safety risks. FoodSafe Labs designs and executes rigorous shelf-life studies that give you the confidence to set the right best-before date.
Long-term stability studies under actual storage conditions, tracking microbiological, chemical, and sensory parameters throughout the product's intended shelf life.
Accelerated studies at elevated temperature and humidity to predict shelf life rapidly — particularly useful for new product development timelines.
TVC, pathogens, yeast & mould, and indicator organism tracking to confirm microbiological safety throughout shelf life.
Rancidity (TBARS, peroxide value), oxidation, pH drift, water activity, moisture migration, and active ingredient stability monitoring.
Trained sensory panel assessment of colour, odour, flavour, and texture at defined time points to establish organoleptic shelf life limits.
Inoculated pack studies to determine the safety and stability of the product under worst-case microbial contamination scenarios.
Our food scientists design a protocol tailored to your product, packaging, and intended storage conditions.
Samples stored under controlled conditions with analysis at defined intervals throughout the study.
Comprehensive report with supporting data and a recommended best-before date for regulatory submissions.
