Why Vacuum Package?
Exposure to air causes food to lose nutrition and
flavor, and also causes freezer burn and enables
bacteria, mold and yeast to grow. The FoodSaver
vacuum packaging system removes air and seals
in flavor and quality. With a full line of FoodSaver
Bags, Canisters and Accessories to expand your
options, you can now enjoy the benefits of a
scientifically proven food storage method that
keeps food fresh up to five times longer.
The FoodSaver ® Vacuum Packaging System Saves
Time and Money.
• Spend less money. With the FoodSaver ® system,
you can buy in bulk or buy when needed and
vacuum package your food in desired portions
without wasting food.
• Save more time. Cook ahead for the week,
preparing meals and saving them in FoodSaver
Bags.
• Marinate in minutes. Vacuum packaging
opens up the pores of food so you can get that
great-marinated flavor in minutes instead
of hours.
• Make entertaining a breeze. Make your
signature dish and holiday treats in advance
so you can spend quality time with your guests.
• Enjoy seasonal or specialty foods.
Keep highly perishable or infrequently used
items fresh longer.
• Control portions for dieting. Vacuum package
sensible portions and write calories and/or
fat content on the bag.
• Protect non-food items. Keep camping and
boating supplies dry and organized for outings.
Protect polished silver from tarnishing by
minimizing exposure to air.
