Food Storage and Safety Information
The Vacuum Sealer will revolutionize the way you buy and store food.
Because vacuum packaging works to eliminate freezer burn and slow food
spoilage, you are now able to take advantage of buying food in bulk without
the threat of food waste.
Vacuum packaging with the Vacuum Sealer removes up to 90% of the air from
the package. This will help keep food fresher up to 5 times longer than under
normal circumstances. Dry foods like pasta, cereals and flour will stay fresh
from start to finish. Plus vacuum packaging prevents weevils and other insects
from infesting dry goods. Package only the freshest foods possible.
However, please keep in mind that not all foods benefit from vacuum
packaging. Never vacuum package garlic or fungi like mushrooms. A
dangerous chemical reaction takes place when air is removed, causing these
foods to be dangerous if ingested. Vegetables should be blanched before
packaging to kill any enzymes that may cause deterioration of out-gassing
when vacuumed.
