Storage times with Sunbeam Food Preserver™ are indicative values that depend on the integrity of the package and the original quality of the food.

IMPORTANT: Keep perishable foods in the freezer or refrigerator. Vacuum packing extends the life of food, but does not turn it into a “preserve”, i.e. a stable product at ambient temperature.

NOTE 1: These food preserving performance claims are the product of collaboration between the Flaem Nuova Research and Development Division and Prof. Luciano Piergiovanni, Chair of “Agri-food product conditioning and distribution technologies” at Milan University, Italy.

NOTE 2: The average temperature for household freezers is -18ºC. If the temperature of frozen foods is allowed to rise much above -18ºC, the shelf life of foods will be shortened. In this instance, frozen foods do not become unsafe to eat, however changes will affect the sensory and nutritional properties of the food rather than its safety.
