A relative of mine used to work in the field of frozen food. They conducted a "crash test": If you defrost and re-freeze food several times, this mimics "decay" in a quicker way. From those results, they could figure out shelf life (without actually having to wait e.g. 27 months).

Aha, I was wondering if there was a way they could imitate decay!

On the flip side, there's heated chambers that do the same thing. There are some companies that will legit evaluate their product every week/month during development until is no longer meets quality or safety specs.

Cool! Still wonder how they've worked that out!
