WARNING : 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 . Vacuum packaging is
not a substitute for canning .
!
WARNING : Never vacuum package garlic or fungi
(such as mushrooms) . A dangerous chemical
reaction takes place when air is removed, causing
these foods to be dangerous if ingested .
!
WARNING : As with any storage container, it is
important to inspect food that has been vacuum
packaged for spoilage prior to consumption .
!
It is important to note that vacuum packaging cannot reverse the
deterioration of foods; it can only slow down changes in quality . It is
difficult to predict how long foods will retain their flavor, appearance
or texture since it depends on the age and condition of the food
when it was vacuum packaged .
