Safety
caso Vakuumierer VC10 43
• Foods most susceptible to botulinum should be refrigerated
for short term and frozen for long-term storage, and consume
them immediately after heating.
• Some dried foods, such as flour and cereals may contain
insect larvae, if do not vacuum- sealed, larvae may hatch
during storage and contaminate the foods. To prevent
weevils and other insects from hatching, store these foods in
vacuum seal package.
• Avoid spoilage; foods should be stored at low temperatures;
few species of microorganisms could grow without air but not
at low temperature.
• If temperatures in the refrigerator greater than 40°F (4°C)
(especially for extended periods of time), it will support the
growth of harmful microorganisms, so you should keep the
temperature at 40°F (4°C) or below.
• The temperature of your freezer should be 0°F (-17°C) or
lower, this is ideal temperature for storing foods, although
freezing does not kill microorganisms, it retards their growth.
• The vacuum-sealed storage temperature will affect dried
foods; their shelf life is extended 3-4 times for every 18°F
(10°C) drop in temperature.
Please note
► If perishable foods have been heated, defrosted or un-
refrigerated, consume them immediately.
► Before vacuum sealing, it’s necessary to clean your hands,
and all utensils and surfaces to be used for cutting and
vacuum sealing foods.
► Refrigerate or freeze the perishable foods immediately, if
you have vacuum-sealed them, and do not leave them
sitting at room temperature.
► The shelf life of dry foods such as nuts, coconut or cereals
will be extended in vacuum-sealed package, while storing
them in dark place. Oxygen and warm temperature will
cause high-fat content foods fat to rancidity.
► Before vacuum sealing some fruit and vegetables, such as
apples, bananas, potatoes and root vegetables, peel them,
this will extend their shelf lives.
► When vacuum seal some vegetables such as broccoli,
cauliflower and cabbage fresh for refrigeration, they will emit
gases, so it’s need to blanch and freeze these foods before
vacuum sealing.
