Shelf Stable
Shelf stable foods are those that can be safely stored at room temperature, or ÔÇ£on the shelfÔÇØ. These relatively non-perishable products include canned and bottled foods, dry fruits, nuts, pasta, and nutritional foods etc. These foods are made shelf stable by treating them with heat or dried to destroy foodborne micro-organisms that can cause illness or spoil food. Besides the process treatment, packaging plays a vital role in food preservation. Today, plastic packaging formats are quickly replacing cans and jars as the preferred format for ready to eat foods.
