Confirmation of the stability, quality, and safety of a product during distribution and storage are important considerations in marketing food products. The NFL’s customized shelf life testing programs use a multi-faceted approach. We incorporate our Sensory, Microbiology, Chemistry, and Food Technology groups to identify all issues related to your product’s shelf life. Our results provide information that can help guide product, package, or processing modifications.

Our team is experienced at creating test designs based on anticipated modes of failure such as chemical, packaging, sensory or microbial failures. Accelerated testing, as well as full term testing, is used to confirm your product’s shelf life.

For an integrated approach to determine your product’s shelf life, call Jena Roberts at 925-551-4205.
