1. shelf life

   Shelf life is the length of time for which an item (usually consumable goods such as food, drinks, medicine, etc.) remains usable, fit for consumption, or saleable. After this period, the quality of the product may have degraded, it might not be effective anymore or it could possibly be harmful. It starts from the time of production or packaging until the expiration date. This term may also apply to non-perishable goods, referring to how long they can be kept in storage before their quality or usefulness deteriorates.

1. Shelf life

   Shelf life is the length of time that foods, beverages, pharmaceutical drugs, chemicals, and many other perishable items are given before they are considered unsuitable for sale, use, or consumption. In some regions, a best before, use by or freshness date is required on packaged perishable foods. Shelf life is the recommendation of time that products can be stored, during which the defined quality of a specified proportion of the goods remains acceptable under expected conditions of distribution, storage and display. Most shelf life dates are used as guidelines based on normal and expected handling and exposure to temperature. Use prior to the expiration date does not necessarily guarantee the safety of a food or drug, while a product is not always dangerous nor ineffective after the expiration date.
