Research: Shelf-Life

Conducted under real-life conditions, our shelf-life studies provide you with critical data about your product’s spoilage risk. From initial product development to packaging and storage, Silliker researchers employ the latest tools and technologies to help assure product safety and quality.

While food product sell-by dates are not legally binding, consumers construe them as a company's guarantee of safety and quality. When a consumer is forced to throw away a spoiled product that has yet to surpass its expiration date, he or she is the short-term loser. In the long run, however, persistent microbiological, chemical, or physical problems associated with a product can have lasting negative repercussions on a company’s most precious asset: its brand.

A Silliker shelf-life study yields valuable data about the life expectancy of a product, ensuring quality fit for a consumer's optimal enjoyment experience. Shelf-life studies are instrumental in helping you make informed decisions about your new or existing product, with possible money savings.

As your R&D partner, the Silliker Food Science Center can help you identify potential quality and safety issues prior to the launch of a new or reformulated product.
