Shelf life TESTING ENSURES YOUR PRODUCT IS PRODUCED
SAFELY AND WITH
HIGH QUALITY.

PDI offers accelerated and
real-Time shelf life testing for multiple product categories

What Is Shelf Life Testing?

Food and beverage shelf-life is the period of time items remain safe for consumption and maintain desired quality under normal conditions of distribution, storage and use. PDI can help you determine best by dates, expiration dates and sell-by dates that ensure the level of quality and safety you expect from your product.

How does PDI run shelf life studies?

Samples are stored in specific temperatures and humidity conditions, then quality, chemical and microbiological changes are analyzed and evaluated. PDI looks at your product holistically in these tests, including packaging, product ingredients, processes and how it is stored.

What are Accelerated Shelf Life Studies?

An accelerated shelf life study can be completed in a fraction of the time of a real-time shelf life study. By changing the storage conditions in the testing environment we are able to get you your shelf life study results quickly. These results have the same high-quality as real-time shelf life studies.
