A Multi-Model Approach to Implement a Dynamic Shelf Life Criterion in Meat Supply Chains

The high perishability of fresh meat results in short sales and consumption periods, which can lead to high amounts of food waste, especially when a fixed best-before date is stated. Thus, the aim of this study was the development of a real-time dynamic shelf-life criterion (DSLC) for fresh pork fil...
