Shelf life studies help establish the longevity of the product before spoilage.  Food samples are stored over a non-accelerated time period and tested at pre-established time points based on the product ingredients. Our highly trained staff conducts microbiology tests that include standard spoilage organisms. Our Microbiology team will work with you to develop a scientifically sound sampling and testing protocol.
