Vacuum sealing is a packing process used for food in which all the air is removed from the package before sealing it.
Vacuum sealing is suitable for several types of food and especially for meat and poultry products.
If you have ever stored meat in your freezer without vacuum sealing the bag beforehand, you’ll have noticed that when you eventually eat it, it tastes horrible. That taste is what is called a freezer burn. To prevent your meat from getting the ‘freezer burn,’ you’ll have to vacuum seal your meat before placing it in the freezer, which will make the stored meat last for several months and a few years depending on the type you’re keeping in storage.
So, what are the benefits of storing meat in vacuum-sealed bags?
1. Increase meat’s shelf life - Studies have shown that vacuum packaging can increase product shelf life from 50%-400%. Vacuum sealing makes meat last so long because of the absence of air and reducing the level of oxygen, facilitating a lifespan of three to five times the lifespan of non-vacuumed sealed meat.
2. Protect meat from external elements - With the proper seal, vacuum packaging can protect your meat and poultry products from dust, moisture, germs, humidity, and other agents that may harm or damage products. Vacuum packaging is also an excellent barrier of protection against freezer burn during long-term freezer storage.
3. Prevent from wasting food - the vacuum sealers increase the life of your meat which will prevent you from wasting food and money
4. No Chemical Preservatives Required - Vacuum packaging eliminates the need for chemical preservatives for meat and poultry products
5. Improved Product Presentation - Most vacuum bags are crystal clear allowing products within the packaging to be displayed on shelves. Vacuum packaging is an affordable packaging solution the enables products to be shelf-ready with the application of a custom printed sticker.
7. Quick and Efficient Packaging - With the proper machines and materials, like the machines used by El Rancho, vacuum sealing can be a very efficient process enabling several products to be sealed in no time.
