Shelf life is the period that the food can take without going bad. Some may take longer periods than others. The foods that can be stored for some time at room temperature in a safe form are called shelf stable. Examples are flour, maize rice, oils and canned and bottled ones. Perishable ones are initially, heated to destroy microorganisms that destroy it and finally stored in an air tight containers. Shelf stable meals are very common especially when there is a power failure for a longer period.

These meals reduce the worries of the individuals who are unable to cook due to various factors. It may rain for a very long period, and, therefore, one is unable to cook. Having the shelf stable enhances the confidence and the assurance of feeding no matter what. The affected people also remain peaceful avoiding quarrels that come about as a result of hunger.
