Guidelines for Vacuum
Packaging
Vacuum Packaging & Food Safety
The vacuum packaging process extends the life of foods by
removing most of the air from sealed zipper bags and containers,
thereby reducing oxidation, which affects nutritional value, flavour
and overall quality. Removing air can also inhibit growth of
microorganisms, which can cause problems under certain
conditions:
Mould – Easily identified by its fuzzy characteristic. Mould cannot
grow in a low oxygen environment, therefore vacuum packaging
can slow the growth of mold.
Yeast – Results in fermentation, which can be identified by smell
and taste. Yeast needs water, sugar and a moderate temperature
to grow. It can also survive with or without air. Slowing the growth of
yeast requires refrigeration, while freezing stops it completely.
Bacteria – Results in an unpleasant odour, discoloration and/or
soft or slimy texture. Under the right conditions, Clostridium
botulinum (the organism that causes Botulism) can grow without
air and sometimes cannot be detected by smell or taste. Although
it is extremely rare, it can be very dangerous. To preserve foods
safely, it is critical that you maintain low temperatures.
Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration or freezing
and it cannot reverse the deterioration of foods. It can only slow
down the changes in quality. It is difficult to predict how long foods
will retain their top-quality flavour, appearance or texture because
it depends on age and condition of the food on the day it was
vacuumed packaged.
Food Safety Warning
Use fresh, perishable foods soon after purchase. Even under
proper storage conditions, foods lose freshness and nutritive value
if they are stored too long.
Food Preparation Tips
Hard Cheeses:
To keep cheese fresh, vacuum package it after each use.
IMPORTANT: Soft cheeses should never be vacuum
packaged.
Baked Goods:
To vacuum package soft or airy baked goods, we recommend
using a FoodSaver Container so they will hold their shape.
