IMPORTANT TIPS

Vacuum packaging is not a substitute for canning. All perishables still need to be refrigerated or frozen
Follow all food safety regulations as outlined by the FDA at www.FDA.gov
Some fruits and vegetables may release gases which is known as outgassing. When packaging these fruits and vegetables, outgassing can cause the vacuum to be gradually lost over time. Blanching or freezing before vacuum packaging helps prevent this from occuring.
Delicate foods can be frozen prior to packaging to protect them from getting crushed by the vacuum,
Allow foods and liquids to cool before vacuum packaging
Avoid overfilling the pouch by leaving a minimum of 3” of space between the contents and the open end of the pouch. This will prevent spills during the vacuum sealing process.
To prevent wrinkles from forming in the seal, gently strech the pouch flat along the seal bar before closing the lid
