What is perishable?

Perishable refers to items or goods that have a limited shelf life and are likely to spoil or decay over time. Examples of perishable items include fresh produce, dairy products, meat, seafood, and baked goods. These items must be stored under specific temperature and humidity conditions to slow down the process of decay and preserve their quality. If perishable items are not stored or handled properly, they may become unsafe for consumption, leading to health risks. The transportation, storage, and handling of perishable items require careful planning and execution to ensure freshness and minimize waste.
