1.3 FOOD  SAFETY 

 

While many packaging machines are used  in applications involving vacuum packaging 

and vacuum cooking, there are inherent risks associated with these techniques that can result in 

serious  illness  or death to the consumer of the food product.   Therefore if you are using  

your machine  for  food applications,  you  must  consult a qualified food technician  or specialist   

in vacuum / modified atmosphere (M.A.P.) to review the safety of your application. 

 

 

GAS FLUSH

 

 

If your machine is equipped with gas flush (optional) and your application involves the use of 

gas flush to extend the shelf  life of your product you must consult a qualified food technician or 

specialist to review your application and develop a suitable gas mixture for your package. 

Further you must perform quality control and gas analysis on your final M.A.P. package. 

 

 

CLEANING 

 
 
 

Every  environment and application is different; therefore Omcan Inc. cannot provide 

cleaning procedure instructions that will guarantee microbiological sanitation. Therefore Omcan inc.

recommends that the purchaser of these machines consult with a sanitation expert to 

review your  procedures for cleaning the machine  while operating in your environment and with 

your specific product   to develop a robust cleaning schedule and methodology,followed by 

bacterial testing to ensure satisfactory cleaning is achieved.
