Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for canning.
▫
Vacuum packaging cannot reverse the deterioration of foods.
▫
Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration or freezing.
▫
Some fruits and vegetables may release gases, known as outgassing.
When packaging these fruits and vegetables, outgassing can cause
the vacuum to be gradually lost over time. Blanching or freezing before
vacuum packaging helps prevent this from occurring.
NOTE:
▫
It is critical that food handling and storage are maintained at
low temperatures. You can reduce the growth of microorganisms
at temperatures of 34
º
F or less. Freezing at 0
º
F will not kill
microorganisms, but reduces the chances of them growing. For long-
term food storage, always freeze foods that have been vacuumed
packaged.
NOTE:
▫
All perishable foods must be refrigerated or frozen.
