The Vacuum Sealed Process Vacuum sealing removes all of the air from the storage container. removing the air inhibits growth of mold, yeast, and bacteria which can spoil meat in conventional containers. In addition, food that has been properly sealed in an air-tight manner will not develop freezer burn - those fuzzy-textured or discolored spots that develop on frozen foods not packaged properly. If properly done, vacuum sealing will drastically extend the life of your food. The following are approximate shelf lives for vacuum sealed products: Fresh Meat: To maximize product life, store fresh meat in the freezer. Fresh meat should maintain its freshness for 2-3 years. Ground Meat: To maximize product life, store ground meat in the freezer. If vacuum sealed properly, this product should last for up to 1 year. If refrigerated. So how long can food last, if it's sealed properly? Here are just a few examples according to the manufactuer: ground meat, which lasts 4 months in a normal freezer bag, can last 1 year. So you can see that savings can really add up - as your food stays fresh longer. |
