A written internal standard for storage and shelf life makes onboarding new account managers far quicker and reduces avoidable errors.
Why storage and shelf life matters on the Meta

Consistency across batches matters more than peak performance for Meta, and storage and shelf life is where inconsistency first appears.
First in first out rotation prevents older batches ageing on the shelf.

| Pallet (1762 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
