If you are part of the food processing or food service industry, there is a good chance
that you already know the advantages of vacuum packaging. It has been used with
success for many years as a safe and cost effective method for extending shelf life and
maintaining the quality of food products. If vacuum packaging is new to your home or
business, you will soon wonder how you lived without it!
Whether you are a beginner or expert, there are certain basic guidelines that should
always be followed in order to package foods safe to eat. Neglecting these basic
guidelines can result in food spoilage, and in some cases, illness or death.
Initial Setup
• Package only fresh foods. Do not package old or rancid foods. An already bad
product does not improve with vacuum packaging.
• Fresh foods (Meats, vegetables, cheeses, etc.) should be refrigerated at 34˚F or below
or frozen after vacuum packaging.
• Vacuum packaging removes a high percentage of air. This slows the growth of most
living microorganisms, which degrade food, such as aerobic bacteria and molds.
However, some forms of bacteria such as clostridium botulinum (responsible for
botulism) are anaerobic and grow in the absence of oxygen.
• The foods susceptible to botulinum should be refrigerated for a short term and frozen
for long-term storage. Consume immediately after heating.
Packaging Guidelines

on the hook, therefore, it is necessary to purchase the specialized bag with the hook holes.
