How Does Vacuum Sealing Extend the Shelf Life of Food?

One of the most commonly asked questions we get is – how does vacuum sealing extend the shelf life of food? There’s a number of factors that contribute to how long foods will last.

The benefits of vacuum packaged foods include:

1. Prevents contamination occurring during storage, handling or transportation of foods
2. Flavours are preserved
3. Reduces the risk of freezer burn, and stops products from drying out
4. Oxygen is eliminated from touching the product, slowing the deterioration of food
5. Vacuum sealing means that no moisture can be absorbed out the air, preserving the food’s moisture content
6. Products can be purchased in bulk and split into the desired portion
7. Less food wastage
