Hello All,
I notice in the SQF code (2.3.1.3), that shelf life studies should be done where necessary. We are currently working for our initial SQF certification and are starting from scratch. We make poultry feed and the feed is delivered to laying houses just down the road. The feed is made and consumed within 48 hours, it never sits long enough to even settle in the bins. At the very longest, a load of feed (25 tons) will last 3 days before total consumption. Do we need a shelf-life study run, being that the code makes it sound like it may not always be necessary? Thank you all in advance for the help!
