Perishable products come with plenty of advantages, like higher nutrition value, and fresher, more natural flavors. But producing and handling these products also comes with many risks.

Perishable products are food or beverage items that have a shorter shelf-life than non-perishable items. They are more sensitive to temperature fluctuations and can spoil or decay over time.

If you’re in the business of perishable foods, then it’s important that you know the importance of proper storing, handling, and packaging.

Best Practices for Perishable Products

• Temperature Control Program: Ensure perishable products are stored, transported, and handled at the proper temperature.
• Appropriate Packaging: Protect perishable products from damage and extend their shelf life. Vacuum-sealed packaging or packaging with modified atmosphere can help reduce the risk of spoilage and keep products fresh.
• Traceability System: Identify and remove any contaminated or spoiled products quickly. This will help minimize the risk of foodborne illness and other safety issues.
• Regular Quality Checks: Identify any potential problems with perishable products before they become a risk to consumers. Establishing partnerships with reliable suppliers can also help ensure that products are of high quality and meet safety standards.
