It is vital that food producers act with sustainability in mind. Reports indicate that over 10–20% of the production of milk and other dairy products in developed countries is wasted or lost, and about half of this waste occurs by consumers after purchase due to factors such as shelf-life restrictions or microbial spoilage. Recent research confirms that product shelf life remains a crucial purchasing condition for consumers. Therefore, it is becoming essential for producers to consider the open shelf life of products to support a sustainable supply chain and lessen their contribution to the food waste burden. 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted every year. In industrialized countries, more than 40% of loss happens at a retail and consumer level. Research indicates that increased shelf life of just one day could prevent up to 0.2 million tons of annual household food waste.
