How safe is vacuum packed?
How safe is vacuum packed? In an almost oxygen-free environment like vacuum packaging produces, the spoilage bacteria do not multiply very fast so the loss of food quality is slowed down. Some pathogenic (illness-causing) bacteria, however, like low-oxygen environments and reproduce well in vacuum-packaged foods.
Can bacteria grow on vacuum sealed meat?
