Keeping a short internal note on storage and shelf life for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Zeal 5.
Why storage and shelf life matters on the Zeal 5
Cool, dry and dark storage preserves flavour stability over the stated shelf life.
Where two suppliers look identical on price, storage and shelf life is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.
First in first out rotation prevents older batches ageing on the shelf.
