Same procedure with pharma. We have what we call stability test (two types: real-time and accelerated).
In real-time stability test, a product is stored at the recommended storage conditions and monitored (1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 24th, 36th month, etc.) until it fails the specs (usually sa bioavailability/ potency specs).
While in accelerated, the product is stored at elevated stressed conditions (temp, humidity, presence of light, pH). Usually the duration of this test is 6 months. So dito pa lang sa accelerated madali na lang ma-predict yung shelf-life based on the degradation rate.
BEST BEFORE DATES:
dito sa Saudi, almost lahat ng edible products e may "best before" or "expiration date" na nakalagay, it's their law I think. even eggs, printed on the shell. as well as mineral/distilled water may best before! (so napapanis yata ang tubig hehe!)...ang wala lang na pagkain na meron nito e yung fresh products like meat, fruits and veggies...kung baga e di na kailangan ng best before nito dahil madaling makita at maamoy kung pwede pa.
BEST BEFORE DATE : dates put on products for your "PEACE of MIND"
^matagal ka na yata hinde nakakauwi dito? Mag eggs dito sa grocery meron din expiration date Nakasulat![]()
i am curious...
what happens to those products past their best before or expiration dates?
ok this is from experience since i was working before sa isang supermarket chain..a certain company will give their products at an even lower rate than what they're giving us mainly because the expiry date is in 2 mos na..normally there are bundles like 5 boxes of this item you will get 2 boxes of this item..there are these "wholesalers" who by the way knows the promo before we do get it from us and then deliver it to divisoria ata..then if you're familiar with the tingi na coffee,creamer etc i think yan yun..seen it sa imbestigador that there are some stores in divi that tamper the expiration dates on the product itself..oh well![]()
in all of the companies naman once the item is expěred at the supermarket level it will be considered as bad order na and will be disposed na as garbage..
I once witnessed tampering/erasure of BBD marks on Ovaltine products at the wet market entrance of Divisoria Mall. They do this in full view of people.
Tumigil ako at tiningnan ko kung ano yun. Big bottles of acetone & bulak ang gamit. Hinila ako ni misis, baka daw saktan ako, & i learned later na mga muslim pala sila.
Worst, may mga bumibili nung ovaltine, dun din sa lugar na punas- bura ng BBD, at a much lower price.![]()
It is a guide to the efficacy of the product.
A little extension would not hurt.
Bottomline,- use your common sense, which sadly is not common nowadays.

yung savemore dito sa delmonte cor sgt. rivera nagbibenta ng mga goods na 1 week to 1 month expired na!
gunggong nga yung bisor nung inireklamo ko sa kaniya banat sakin may 1 month pa bago mag-expire. eh sabi ko hindi ako palagamit ng ganung condiment at years dapat ang expiry nun at pano yung makakabili ng isang linggo na lang ang expiry?
kaya hindi ako bumibili diyan sa mga savemore na yan maliban kung emergency.
bale sa sapatos pag expired na binebenta sa tapsilogan tapos yung tapa pag expired na binebenta sa marikina para gawing sapatos o belt.
umiikot lang yan eh. napansin niyo yung mga tapa sa tapsilogan pag nginunguya mo parang mas maganda pang suotin?
yung kinainan kong tapsilogan sabi ko sinayang lang nila yung tapa dapat ginawa nalang nilang sinturon.

rule ko diyan before is if 5 months before and slow moving yung item report it to merchandising for disposition..either they ask the supplier to pull out the stocks or do some in store promotions like bundling or b1t1 scheme..kasi it consumes space sa shelves plus sa warehouse instead na makapagdisplay ng fast moving items..normally yung naiiwan sa selling area na expired items kasalanan na ng merchandiser yun kasi hindi sinusunod yung first in first out..normally if may nahuhuli akong ganyan if first time and di critical yung products like milk or tomato sauce etc suspension lang then next time termination na..supervisors are issued memo as well kasi di nila namonitor yung movement ng stocks..

Dito sa bacoor cavite yung Emilu's.
Last yr (dec 2013) yung mga fruit cocktale nila, 5 days nang expired, naka display pa. Nung sabihan ko yung bisor nila parang walang narinig. Maya maya eto na yung trolley brigade nila. Hinakot na yung goods, dedma sa mga nakapaligid na shoppers.
Kaya mga taga etivac, ingat sa Emilu's.
yikes!baka 2012 pang stocks yan di naubos..imported ba?normally kasi yung supplier ng imported na fruit cocktail ayaw magpullout ng stocks they will just bargain sa merchandising na tataasan nila yung discount na ibibigay sa products..basta tip lang wag ka kukuha ng canned goods na may konting kalawang na or may dent kahit konti lang coz pwede kang mafood poison dun..pag medyo bloated yung milk or tomato products wag ka na magattempt damputin kasi baka mabasa ka lang pag bumigay yung packaging..bloating kasi is a sign na contaminated na yung food..lumalabas pagkafood tech ko ah lol
