The best before date on a food product must be backed by reputable data to meet government regulatory and major retail requirements. Element’s shelf-life food study services provide the detailed and reliable data required to help you ensure your food product’s stability over its entire shelf-life.

Element offers bespoke shelf-life study programs using ISO accredited methodologies to fit your unique needs. We consider the following critical factors when setting up each unique testing protocol:

  • Microbiological risk parameters
  • Water activity and pH
  • Rancidity
  • Label claims
  • Organoleptic evaluation

We have large storage capacity and can accommodate a multitude of products under several conditions, including frozen, refrigerated, ambient, intermediate, tropical and accelerated shelf-life studies.

In addition to shelf-life studies on market-ready food products, Element also offers microbial challenge studies to better detail microbial risk or spoilage potential for new products going to the market.
