The expiration date statement on the food packaging is a mandatory according to the Food Act No.7/1996 and the Government Regulation No. 69/1999 about Food Labelling and Advertising. The aim of this research was to estimate or to predict the shelf-life of instant bandrek drink produced at Sinarsari village and nutmeg syrup at Dramaga village, Dramaga district, Bogor regency. Shelf-life estimation of the two products was done by accelerated shelf-life testing method. Instant bandrek was predicted to have shelf-life for 341 days (11 months) when stored at 80% RH, 30 °C, while the nutmeg syrup would be expired in 34-47 days when stored at 30 °C.
