Shelf Stability Tool

Use this handy online tool to determine if your meat products are shelf stable.

Fully cooked, read-to-eat (RTE) meat products can be vulnerable to the growth of L. monocytogenes (LM) and Staphylococcus aureus (Staph). Use this predictor tool to measure the probability of this happening as a function of pH and water activity. It’s an easy way to determine if your product is truly shelf stable.
