Shelf Life

Shelf life refers to the period during which a product, such as food, medicine, or chemicals, remains safe to use and maintains its intended quality and effectiveness when stored under specified conditions. It is the timeframe from manufacturing until the product may no longer be considered reliable or safe, due to factors like spoilage, degradation, or loss of potency. Proper understanding of shelf life helps consumers and businesses ensure products are used within their safe and optimal period, minimizing waste and health risks.
