Shelf-Life Testing

Real Time Shelf-Life Testing

Top Rated Customer Service!

Bringing a new product to market? 


Many retailers require a lab-verified use by or expiration date before approving products for their shelves.


Our comprehensive shelf-life studies evaluate the following changes to provide you with a defensible, lab-qualified shelf life you can confidently share with retailers and partners.


  • Organoleptic Testing – Appearance, Aroma, and Texture of your product over time
  • Microbiological Testing – pH, Water Activity, Yeast, Mold, Spatial Plate Count – Total Coliforms
  • Additional custom testing can be added
