5 Food handling
5.3
Storage
To store food safely, the following points must be observed:
▪
Food that is to be stored must be fresh and in perfect condition.
▪
The product must be already at the storage temperature before vacuum sealing.
▪
Keep any interruptions to the cool chain as short as possible.
▪
Where possible, dry the food before vacuum sealing.
▪
Avoid mixing raw and cooked foods.
▪
Select the highest level of vacuuming possible, as given in the section: Recommen-
ded vacuuming levels (see page 14).
▪
Large pieces of food can be preserved for longer than smaller pieces.
▪
Store food at as low a temperature as possible.
▪
Place the food in the refrigerator or freezer immediately after evacuating the air.
▪
Perishables should always be kept in a refrigerator or freezer, even when vacuum-
packed. Vacuum sealing food is not the same as preserving it!
