Food shelf-life testing is crucial for businesses across the United States to ensure the longevity, safety, and quality of food products. Shelf-life testing helps determine the period during which a food product maintains its desired sensory, chemical, physical, and microbiological properties. For food producers, suppliers, and retailers, knowing the exact shelf life of a product is essential to maintaining consumer trust, preventing spoilage, and reducing waste. In the dynamic food industry, from seafood to dairy and produce, accurate shelf-life testing ensures that products remain fresh during transportation, storage, and distribution.

According to the USDA, nearly 30-40% of the U.S. food supply is wasted each year, much of it due to spoilage from poor shelf-life management. Proper shelf-life testing allows businesses to confidently label their products, giving consumers peace of mind about the freshness and safety of their purchases—especially important in today’s market, where quality and safety are top consumer priorities.
