Setting product shelf life

In the context of food production, shelf-life refers to the period of time after manufacture that the food is considered safe for consumption, or still of the quality intended by the manufacturer. When determining the product's shelf-life the Food Business Operator (FBO) must demonstrate that that the shelf-life of a food product is appropriate, and that the food will remain safe and/or maintain its quality until the end of that life. There is no standard method to estimate or set the shelf-life of a food product because there are many different factors that can affect the product safety and quality.
