long-life
Won't expire soon
Long-life describes products designed to remain usable or fresh for an extended period.
Most commonly applied to food and beverages treated for preservation: long-life milk, long-life batteries.
The term appears mainly in British English and on product packaging; Americans more often say shelf-stable or specify the preservation method.
