5.3  Guidelines for vacuum packaging 

 CAUTION! 

Vacuum packing is not a substitute for freezing. Any foodstuffs which spoil 

easily and needed to be frozen prior to vacuum packing must be cooled and 
frozen after vacuum packing. 

 

Important hints 

 

1.  Prior to vacuum packing it is necessary to wash hands thoroughly, as well as all device 

and surfaces which will be used for the cutting and vacuum packing of foodstuffs. 

 

2.  Use gloves when possible. 
3.  Only fresh foodstuffs should be packaged. 

 

4.  Foodstuffs which spoil easily should be frozen immediately following vacuum packing 

and not left for long periods at room temperature. 

 

5.  Place the vacuum packages uniformly in the refrigerator or freezer in order to allow for 

quick freezing. 

6.  The foodstuffs removed from the package must be absolutely consumed before their 

expiry date, specified on the original package. 

7.  The vacuum package prolongs the shelf life of dried foodstuffs. Oxygen and heat 

cause foodstuffs of high fat content to go rancid. Shelf life of dry foodstuffs, such as 

nuts, coconuts, and muesli is also extended by vacuum packing. Store them in cool 

and dark place.

 

8.  Fruits and vegetables, such as apples, bananas, potatoes, and root vegetables 

should be peeled prior to vacuum packing, as this will prolong their shelf lives. 

9.  Some vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and white cabbage emit gases 

when vacuum packed. For this reason it is necessary to blanch and freeze them. 

 

10. In order to repack foodstuffs using vacuum packing after they have been removed 

from prior packing, it is necessary to follow the rules for storage of items in low 

temperatures after they have been opened. 

11. Foodstuffs which spoil easily and have been reheated or taken from the refrigerator 

should be consumed immediately. Foodstuffs which have laid in the open for several 

hours should not be consumed, especially if they were prepared in thick sauces and 

stored in vacuum packing or other environments deprived of sufficient oxygen.

 

12. Soft and fragile products (fish, wild strawberries, etc.) should be initially frozen during 

the night. After the initial freezing they may be vacuum packed and finally placed in 

the freezer.
