When exporting food, shelf life is one of the most important factors for success. At I and E Connection Group LLC, we know that managing shelf life is key to keeping food safe, fresh, and profitable in international trade.
Shelf life is the time a product stays safe to eat and keeps its quality. It depends on:
Customs and Regulations – Countries require clear expiration dates and safe shelf life. Without them, shipments can be delayed or rejected.
Food Quality – A longer shelf life helps food arrive fresh and appealing to buyers.
Logistics – Exporting can take weeks. Products with short shelf life risk expiring before reaching stores.
Sales and Competitiveness – Retailers prefer products that last longer because they reduce waste and improve sales.
Reputation – Shipping expired products can hurt trust and business relationships.
Shelf life is more than just a date on a label—it protects your product, your profits, and your reputation. At I and E Connection Group LLC, we help ensure food products reach international markets safely and in the best condition.
