đź•’ Understanding Shelf Life: Why It Matters for Safe, Healthy Snacking
Shelf life isn’t just about dates—it’s about your safety, nutrition, and the full value of the foods you enjoy. At Logical Blend, where we work with fresh, clean-label ingredients and zero preservatives, understanding shelf life is key to getting the best from our products.
đź“Ś What Is Shelf Life?
Shelf life refers to the period during which a product remains safe, effective, and of optimal quality. It's not just about food—it applies to supplements, skincare, and even medicines. After this period, the product may lose its benefits or become unsafe to use.
⚖️ What Affects Shelf Life?
- Natural Ingredients: Products without preservatives have a shorter, but healthier shelf life.
- Storage Conditions: Heat, humidity, and light can accelerate spoilage. Cool, dry storage is crucial.
- Packaging: Airtight and sealed containers protect against contamination and moisture.
- Air & Moisture Exposure: Once opened, snacks deteriorate faster. Always reseal tightly.
âś… Why Shelf Life Matters
- Health & Safety: Expired foods or supplements may cause digestive issues or allergic reactions.
- Nutrition: Over time, vitamins, antioxidants, and active compounds break down.
- Less Waste: Awareness helps you consume what you buy before expiry—saving money and the planet.
- Skin & Body Care: Expired skincare or health blends may cause irritation or lose effectiveness.
