In the case of live lobster, it depends on how you hold it. If you do what they call holding it in tubes, whereby they have plastic tubes in crates, floating in water, that's one way to hold it. The experts on that would know. But there is definitely a shelf life. If you're holding them in crates, there's a time by which you want to move them. If you're holding them in above-ground storage, there's a time by which you want to move them. The folks who do that are very good at it.
In terms of processed products, there are best before dates on all products, and that system is closely regulated by CFIA and by our customers and shippers. With some of the newer products.... There's a pasteurized lobster product being developed, which is really fascinating. It has a much longer shelf life for retail and for food service. There's some neat stuff happening there.
