Food handling
Vacuum sealing food can generally extend its shelf life.
5.1
Quality and hygiene
The bacterial content of food determines how long a product can be preserved.
The higher the bacterial content, the shorter the maximum storage time.
In order to preserve food for as long as possible, only vacuum seal food that is in perfect
condition. Products that have been kept for some time before vacuum sealing have a
higher bacterial content and are therefore not suitable for long-term storage.
To prevent fresh food from being contaminated with bacteria, the following points should
be observed:
▪ Wash hands well before handling food.
▪ Ensure food preparation surfaces are smooth and hygienically clean. Clean food pre-
paration surfaces before use.
▪ Clean all utensils (knives, forks, spoons, etc.) before use.
