n Make sure to properly clean your hands, all utensils and
surfaces to be used for cutting and vacuum packing
foods.
n Once you’ve packed perishable foods, refrigerate or
freeze them immediately. Don’t leave them sitting at room
temperature.
n Vacuum packing will increase the shelf life of dry foods.
Foods that have high fat content develop rancidity due to
oxygen and warm temperature. Vacuum packaging
extends the shelf life of foods such as nuts, coconut or
cereals. Store in a cool, dark place.
n Vacuum packing will not extend the shelf life of fruits and
vegetables such as bananas, apples, potatoes and root
vegetables unless they are peeled before vacuum packing.
n Vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage emit
gases when vacuum packed fresh for refrigeration. To
prepare these foods for vacuum packing, blanch and
freeze.
