Why Perishables Are High Risk for FBA Sellers

29d • FBA

Perishable items like food and drinks are tough to sell on Amazon. Their short shelf life, strict approval requirements, and higher risk of wasted inventory make them especially challenging for new sellers.

Amazon enforces strict rules on labeling, temperature control, and expiration dates. These products can leak or expire before they sell, and unsold inventory often ends up in costly removal orders, making perishables one of the riskiest categories to manage.

Have you ever tried selling perishables? How did it go?
