Vacmaster Pro90 - Food Storage Information

The Pro90 will revolutionize the way you buy and store food. Because vacuum
packaging works to eliminate freezer burn and slow food spoilage, you are now
able to take advantage of buying food in bulk without the threat of food waste.
Vacuum packaging with the Pro90 removes up to 90% of the air from the
package. This will help keep food fresher up to 5 times longer than under normal
circumstances. Dry foods like pasta, cereals and our will stay fresh from start to
nish. Plus vacuum packaging prevents weevils and other insects from infesting
dry goods. Package only the freshest foods possible.
However, please keep in mind that not all foods benet from vacuum packaging.
Never vacuum package garlic or fungi like mushrooms. A dangerous chemical
reaction takes place when air is removed, causing these foods to be dangerous if
ingested. Vegetables should be blanched before packaging to kill any enzymes
that may cause deterioration of out-gassing when vacuumed.
