The quality of packaged foods is the combination of properties that determine their value as human food. These quality factors include visual appearance, texture, flavor, nutritional value and safety. Consumers demand product freshness and therefore maintaining quality has become a priority over shelf life.

Gradual deterioration of food during storage results from physical or chemical changes in the food itself or from the activities of microorganisms growing in or on the product. Eventually the cumulative effect of these changes causes the consumer to reject the product. Rejection is based on consumers' sensory expectations and perceptions.

The shelf life of a product depends on many variables and changes in them, including the product, environmental conditions and packaging. Depending on the product and the intended application, shelf life is determined by microbiology, enzymatic science and physical effects.

In practice, the variables that accelerate or delay the shelf life of packaged foods are temperature, pH value, water content, water activity, relative humidity, radiation, gas concentration, redox potential, presence of metal ions and pressure. In order to determine the quality of packaged foods, these changes are followed and analyzed separately in advanced laboratories. In short, the determination of total live bacteria in foods effectively evaluates the hygienic quality of foods.

Packaged food undergoes many tests to allow the affixing of the QLabel quality label on it. QLabel label for consumers, productIt is a proof of quality.
