Exposure to air causes food to lose nutrition and flavour, and also
causes freezer burn and enables many bacteria, mould and yeast to
grow. The FoodSaver vacuum packaging system removes air and
seals in flavour and quality. With a full line of FoodSaver bags, and
canisters to expand your options, you can now enjoy the benefits of a
scientifically proven food storage method that keeps food fresh up to
five times longer.
The FoodSaver System Saves Time and Money
• Spend less money. With the FoodSaver system, you can buy
in bulk or buy on sale and vacuum package your food in desired
portions without wasting food.
• Save more time. Cook ahead for the week, preparing meals and
saving them in FoodSaver bags.
• Marinate in minutes. Vacuum packaging opens up the pores
of food so you can get that great marinated flavour in just 20
minutes instead of overnight.
• Make entertaining easy. Make your signature dish and holiday
treats in advance so you can spend quality time with your guests.
• Enjoy seasonal or specialty foods. Keep highly perishable or
infrequently used items fresh longer.
• Control portions for dieting. Vacuum package sensible portions
and write calories and/or fat grams on the bag.
• Protect non-food items. Keep camping and boating supplies
dry and organised for outings. Protect polished silver from
tarnishing by minimising exposure to air.
FoodSaver Accessories
Get the most out of your FoodSaver appliance with easy-to-use
FoodSaver bags, canisters and accessories.
FoodSaver Bags and Rolls
FoodSaver bags and rolls feature special channels that enable the
efficient removal of air. The multi-ply construction makes them an
especially effective barrier to oxygen and moisture and helps to
prevent freezer burn. FoodSaver bags and rolls come in a variety of
sizes.
FoodSaver Canisters
FoodSaver canisters are simple to use and ideal for vacuum
packaging delicate items such as muffins and other baked goods,
liquids and dry goods.
FoodSaver Bottle Stopper
Use FoodSaver bottle stoppers to vacuum package wine,
non-carbonated liquids and oils. This will extend the life of the liquid
and preserve the flavour. Don’t use the bottle stopper on plastic
bottles.
FoodSaver Quick Marinator
The quick marinator infuses food with flavour in minutes instead of
hours using vacuum power to penetrate marinades deep into the food.

Storage Guide, Hints and Tips
Vacuum Packaging and Food Safety
The vacuum packaging process extends the life of foods by removing
most of the air from the sealed container, thereby reducing oxidation,
which affects nutritional value, flavour and overall quality. Removing
air can also inhibit growth of microorganisms, which can cause
problems under certain conditions:
To preserve foods safely, it is critical that you maintain low
temperatures. You can significantly reduce the growth of
microorganisms at temperatures of 4°C or below.
Freezing at -17°C does not kill microorganisms, but stops them from
growing. For long-term storage, always freeze perishable foods that
have been vacuum packaged, and keep refrigerated after thawing.
It is important to note that vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute
for canning and it cannot reverse the deterioration of foods. It can
only slow down the changes in quality. It is difficult to predict how
long foods will retain their top-quality flavour, appearance or texture
because it depends on age and condition of the food on the day it
was vacuum packaged.
FoodsStorage LifeWhere to StoreRemarks
Beef, Pork, Lamb, Poultry2-3 yearsFreezerPre-freeze moist foods before vacuum packaging. Alternatively, place a folded paper towel between the food and the end
of the bag to absorb excess liquid. Remember to leave 75mm of space after the towel to allow room for the seal to be
created. Note: Beef may appear darker after vacuum packaging due to the removal of oxygen. This is not an indication of
spoilage.
