The ProductShelfLife structure defines the timing and conditions associated with storing of a product or item. It can be used for shelf life of a packaged product itself, shelf life after transformation where necessary, or after the first opening of a bottle, etc.

Note: the ProductShelfLife structure allows [modifier extensions](extensibility#modifier).
