Vacuum Sealing Guidelines

Food Storage & Safety

NOTE

: Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration or freezing. Any 

perishable foods that require refrigeration must still be refrigerated or frozen 
after vacuum packaging.

For best results in extending the life of foods, you should vacuum package 
foods that are fresh. Once food has begun to deteriorate, vacuum packaging will
only slow the deterioration process. Vacuum sealing cannot prevent the growth 
of mold. Other disease causing micro-organisms can still grow in low oxygen 
environments.
