Shelf-life study, extension, and food safety assessment

Food safety assessment 

We work with partners to assess the safety of food products and their processes. Our customized evaluations generate data specific to your product, helping ensure it meets public health standards and regulatory requirements. If needed, we provide preliminary recommendations to improve safety and compliance before market launch. 

Novel packaging material shelf-life study 

Gain valuable insights about how your novel packaging material interacts with products. By focusing on the most likely modes of failure—whether in the packaging or the product—we generate meaningful, data-driven recommendations to support product stability, safety, and performance throughout its lifecycle. 

Product shelf-life study

Custom shelf-life studies are designed to focus on the likely modes of shelf-life failure for the product. Regular assessments will ensure you have a thorough understanding of how the product changes over time, and we will provide recommendations to improve the shelf-life if needed. 

In some cases, accelerated shelf-life studies may be appropriate. We’ll work collaboratively to determine whether this approach meets your product’s needs and delivers the data required for confident decision-making.Shelf-life extension 

If your product is not achieving the desired shelf-life or if this has become a barrier to a new market, we can help you redesign to extend the shelf-life. We take a holistic approach considering your production environment, ingredients, formulation, processing, packaging, supply chain and retail environment.
