Getting Started with Vacuum Packaging
If you are part of the food processing or food service industry, there is a good chance that you already know the advantages
of vacuum packaging. It has been used with success for many years as a safe and cost effective method for extending shelf
life and maintaining the quality of food products. If vacuum packaging is new to your home or business, you will soon wonder
how you lived without it!
Whether you are a beginner or expert, there are certain basic guidelines that should always be followed in order to package
foods safe to eat. Neglecting these basic guidelines can result in food spoilage, and in some cases, illness or death.
Once you familiarize yourself with the 7529.0010 procedures, you will feel at ease using the Chamber Machine and enjoy a
higher quality of stored foods.
•
Package only fresh foods. Do not package old or rancid foods. An already bad product does not improve with vacuum
packaging.
•
Fresh foods (Meats, vegetables, cheeses, etc.) should be refrigerated at 34˚F or below or frozen after vacuum packaging.
•
Vacuum packaging removes a high percentage of air. This slows the growth of most living microorganisms, which degrade
food, such as aerobic bacteria and moulds. However, some forms of bacteria such as clostridium botulinum (responsible
for botulism) are anaerobic and grow in the absence of oxygen.
•
The foods susceptible to botulinum should be refrigerated for a short term and frozen for long-term storage. Consume
immediately after heating.
•
Vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage will emit gasses when vacuum sealed. To prepare these foods for
vacuum packaging, you must blanch them first.
•
All perishable foods must be refrigerated or frozen to prevent spoilage.
•
Vacuum packaging is not a substitute for canning.
Packaging with Vacuum Pouches
With the 7529.0010, you can easily package a wide variety of sizes and shapes. You can also prep and store smaller individual
serving portions as well as bulk items.
•

•
Several sizes available to meet your packaging needs.
•

•

crunchy. Vacuum package as normal.
