Food Storage and Safety Information
The VS 105 vacuum Sealer will revolutionize the way you buy and store food.
Because vacuum packaging works to eliminate freezer burn and slow food spoilage,
you are now able to take advantage of buying food in bulk without the threat of food
waste.
Vacuum packaging with the VS 105 Vacuum Sealer removes up to 90% of the air
from the package. This will help keep food fresher up to 5 times longer than under
normal circumstances. Dry foods like pasta, cereals and flour will stay fresh from start
to finish. Plus vacuum packaging prevents weevils and other insects from infesting
dry goods. Package only the freshest foods possible.
However, please keep in mind that not all foods benefit from vacuum packaging.
Never vacuum package garlic or fungi like mushrooms. A dangerous chemical
reaction takes place when air is removed, causing these foods to be dangerous
if ingested. Vegetables should be blanched before packaging to kill any
enzymes that may cause deterioration of out-gassing when vacuumed.
