Storage and Handling Requirements
Proper storage maintains product quality and extends shelf life:
- Store in cool, dry locations away from direct sunlight
- Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures (heat or freezing)
- Keep away from strong odors as plastic can absorb scents
- Maintain stock rotation using first-in, first-out practices
- Store cases on pallets or shelving to prevent ground moisture contact
- Refrigerate stock designated for immediate service
- Room temperature storage is suitable for inventory awaiting refrigeration
Refrigeration considerations:
- Cold beverage service requires advance refrigeration planning
- Standard refrigeration temperature: 35-40°F (2-4°C)
- Chilling time varies based on storage temperature and refrigeration capacity
- Some operations maintain split inventory (refrigerated service stock and room-temp backup)

Businesses stocking Diet Coke in 500 mL bottles should account for several practical factors:
Inventory planning: Calculate case requirements based on daily/weekly consumption patterns and storage capacity

Waste management: Implement recycling programs for PET bottles where municipal infrastructure permits

Service delivery: Determine whether bottles are served chilled, over ice, with cups, or sold directly from cooler

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the shelf life of Diet Coke in PET bottles?
Shelf life information is typically printed on the bottle or case packaging. When stored properly in cool, dry conditions, unopened PET bottles maintain quality for extended periods. Check date codes on packaging for specific guidance.
Can PET bottles be recycled?
PET plastic is recyclable in most municipal recycling programs. Check with your local waste management provider for specific acceptance and preparation requirements. Many commercial operations implement bottle recycling programs.

What temperature should Diet Coke be served at?
Serving temperature is a business decision based on customer preferences. Common serving range is 35-40°F (2-4°C) for cold service. Some customers prefer room temperature.
Do PET bottles require any special handling?
