Food Safety
Use fresh ingredients
Always check if food is spoiled, before consuming
or blending it. Only use fresh ingredients for
blending, or ingredients that are still suited for
consumption and will be consumed immediately
after preparation.
You must realise that vacuum-packaging cannot
undo spoilage. Vacuum blending with vacuum
packaging may ensure that the quality of food
or drink is retained longer, provided it is also
properly cooled. How much longer you can
preserve the food or drink depends on different
factors, such as the type and quality of the food at
the time of packaging
Vacuum-packaging
We advise to mention the date of packaging on
any prepared food or drink that is packaged or
bottled for storage after blending.
When vacuum-packaging food most of the
surrounding air is extracted whilst the inflow of
fresh air is being prevented. Vacuum-packaging
helps to prevent freezer burn, which is the
dehydration of the surface layer of the food. This is
characterised by white or brown-red discolouration
of the food.
Vacuum-packaging contributes to the preservation
of the taste and the overall quality of the food. It
slows the growth of aerobic micro-organisms that
could cause:
• Mould. As mould won't grow in environments
with little oxygen, the vacuum-packaging will
strongly reduce the risk of moulding.
• Fermentation. Fermentation can be noticed
by the odour or taste of the food. Fermentation
requires water and sugar and will develop at
room temperature. Fermentation can also
develop when air is lacking. In order to slow the
