Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Shelf Life Extension service include?
We help extend your product’s shelf life by optimizing formulations, packaging, and processing methods. Our focus is to enhance product stability, quality, and safety, ensuring your packaged food performs consistently across retail, e-commerce, and export markets.
Why is shelf life optimization important?
Shelf life directly impacts consumer satisfaction, profitability, and brand reliability. A longer, more stable product life reduces spoilage and returns, improves inventory management, and helps food brands expand confidently into new markets while maintaining consistent product quality.
How do you determine a product’s shelf life?
We design both accelerated and real-time shelf life studies, covering everything from test protocol design and sample storage to data interpretation. These studies help establish accurate and compliant shelf life claims that align with FSSAI and industry standards.
Can you help improve the shelf life of an existing product?
Yes. We frequently work with existing packaged food formulations facing challenges like moisture gain, rancidity, microbial spoilage, or texture loss. Our team optimizes them through formulation adjustments, ingredient selection, and packaging upgrades to extend shelf stability and maintain sensory quality.
Do you also assist with packaging material selection?
Absolutely. We evaluate barrier properties, oxygen and moisture transmission rates, and product compatibility to help you select food-safe packaging materials that enhance shelf stability, maintain freshness, and align with regulatory compliance and sustainability goals.
How do you ensure ingredient consistency and safety?
We conduct vendor audits and ingredient quality assessments to verify supplier consistency, hygiene, and traceability. This reduces the risk of contamination, spoilage, or variability, ensuring every batch meets the highest standards of food safety and stability.
What is process validation, and why does it matter?
Process validation ensures your manufacturing steps are standardized, repeatable, and optimized for quality retention. It minimizes batch variation, prevents premature product degradation, and helps ensure your packaged food remains safe, compliant, and shelf-stable over time.
How much does this service cost?
Pricing depends on your product category, existing formulation challenges, and testing depth required. After reviewing your samples and objectives, we share a transparent proposal detailing timelines, deliverables, and costs, tailored to your project’s scale and needs.
How long does a shelf life optimization project take?
Most projects take 6–10 weeks, depending on the level of reformulation and testing required. Real-time shelf life studies may take longer, as they replicate actual storage conditions to provide the most accurate product performance data.
