FOOD SAFETY
Vacuum packaging extends the life of foods by removing most of the air from sealed containers and prevents
fresh air escaping into the sealed containers, there by reducing oxidation. Vacuum packaging helps preserve
avor and overall quality. It also helps inhibit the growth of aerobic microorganisms, which can lead to the
problems noted below under certain conditions:
Mold: Mold cannot grow in a low oxygen environment; therefore, vacuum packaging can virtually eliminate it.
Yeast: Results in fermentation, which can be identied by smell and taste. Yeast needs water, sugar and a
moderate temperature to grow. It can also survive with or without air. Slowing the growth of yeast requires
refrigeration, while freezing stops it completely.
Bacteria: Results in an unpleasant odor, discoloration and/or soft or slimy texture. Under the right conditions
clostridium botulinum (the organism that causes Botulism) can grow without air and cannot be detected by
smell or taste. Although it is extremely rare, it can be very dangerous. As with any other storage containers, it
is important to inspect food for spoilage prior to consuming.
To preserve foods safely, it is important to maintain low temperatures. You can signicantly reduce the growth
of microorganisms at temperatures of 4ºC or below. Freezing at -17ºC does not kill microorganisms, but stops
them from growing. For long-term storage, always freeze perishable foods that have been vacuum packaged.
It is important to note that vacuum packaging cannot reverse the deterioration of foods. It can only slow down
changes in quality. It is difcult to predict how long foods will retain their top-quality avour, appearance or
texture because it depends on the vital force and the condition of the food on the day it is vacuum packaged.
Note: vacuum packaging is not a substitute for refrigeration or freezing. Any perishable foods that require
refrigeration must still be refrigerated or frozen after vacuum packaging.

Bag guidelines
1Not all kinds of bags can be used with this machine, please make sure the bags to be used with this machine
are with pattern which to have the channel for the air.
2 Delicate foods, moist foods and foods that need to hold their shape require pre-freezing. Foods like meat,
berries and bread can be frozen for up to 24 hours without harm of freezer burn. Once food is hard, it is
ready to be vacuum packaged.
3 To vacuum liquids like soups, stews and casseroles, pre-freeze in a dish or ice cube tray. Once frozen,
vacuum package, label and stack in your freezer.
4 For objects with sharp points or edges, pad the edges with paper towels to prevent the bag from puncturing.
5 Vacuum bags are reusable, boilable and microwavable. We do not recommend reusing bags that have been
boiled or micro-waved. Do not reuse bags that have been used to store fresh sh or greasy foods.
