7. DURATION OF VACUUM PACKED
FOOD
Vacuum packing processes prolong the life of
food by eliminating most of the air in the
sealed receptacle, thereby reducing oxidation
which affects the nutritional value, their
flavour and above all the quality. Expelling air
also inhibits proliferation of micro-organisms
Below is a list of the storage times for
vacuum packed foods. These times are just a
guideline and can vary depending on how
well the food is cooked and its original quality.
