The FoodSaver Vacuum Sealing system works by removing air from food storage bags and food containers prior to storing, freezing, sous vide cooking, or marinating, to ensure that flavor and freshness of food is preserved longer.

Vacuum sealing is one of the easiest ways to preserve food, both uncooked ingredients to prepare later or cooked meals for enjoying in the future. By limiting exposure to air and preventing freezer burn, vacuum sealing helps food maintain its peak taste and texture.

FoodSaver® is the leading manufacturer of vacuum sealing systems - helping people enjoy fresh food longer, while reducing food waste. Based in Atlanta, GA., FoodSaver® is part of Newell Brand's global portfolio of leading brands.

What Is a Vacuum Sealer? A vacuum sealer removes the air from the space around your food and then uses a heated seal bar to fuse the sides of the bag, preventing the air from leaking back into the bag. Exposure to air will spoil food or allow it to stale over time, so this process eliminates that threat.
