Look for your own state or country regulation. If ther is none, then do risk assessment on possible complaints of the product. Evaluate from delivery to shelf life. The customer will not be using this product if shelf life is known.

First of all, you must try your best to find the local or regional regulations for same. If could not, the general practice is to retain the records at least for a period of time equivalant to the product life cycle or shelf life of your product.
