Shelf-life studies and challenge tests
Shelf-life studies for foodstuffs are important in order to gain insight into the degradation of products during the course of time between production and consumption. These studies are extra important for critical ready-to-eat foodstuffs and products that are susceptible to the spread of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) and other pathogens. These are primarily ready-to-eat foodstuffs that are cooled and/or packaged in gas and intended for immediate consumption (without reheating).
