Non-perishable items are food and other products that can be stored for long periods without spoiling. These items do not require refrigeration and can withstand changes in temperature and humidity. Common examples include canned goods, dried pasta, rice, and certain snacks. They are often used for emergency preparedness and long-term storage. In addition to food, non-perishable items can include household goods like paper products, cleaning supplies, and toiletries. These products are convenient for stocking up, as they have a longer shelf life compared to perishable items like fruits, vegetables, and dairy products.
