Can anyone recommend the type of paint that would be best to use on shelves and walls in a pantry. It needs to be as tough as possible and washable.

Polyurethane gloss paint.

I would recommend High Gloss Enamel in Latex (easier clean up than oil). Get it the same color as the trim in your corresponding space (kitchen /hall...). Paint the pantry walls the same color as the wall color in the outside space too. Result looks more "finished" and part of your living space.
Less steps than a paint and a poly sealer and it's the same results. I do not recommend white unless that is your trim color. Can and boxes are dirty from stores and dust, dirt & grim will show over time.

I would recommend kitchen and bath paint that holds up to frequent scrubbing.
Or poly it.
Another option might be to keep things a little safer near the food and simply use shelf paper, contact paper, or those silicone rubbery things that line the cabinets of an RV...they clean easy with no fumes and contents don't shift of fall from shelves easily at all.

If you wish low odor and easy cleanup then use a satin ceramic water borne. Grahams is one of the best on the market. Extremely durable and highly scrub-able. If odor and cleanup don't bother you then use a satin oil of good quality like Benjamin Moore's Satin Impervo

I would do it in an oil base that is recommended for safety around children or food storage and do it in a high gloss white as white gets for lighting purposes.

think of in case you have long gone to the cost of having new cabinets i might undercoat them first,gently sand them then paint with 2 coats of the dulux. i know it particularly is a real faff on however the outcomes in the tip would be lots extra effectual.
