Vacuum packaging is a preservation technique created in the 17th century and implemented in the food industry in the mid-20th century.
In this exceptional situation we are living through, establishments in the hospitality industry must adapt to new circumstances with the goal of providing dishes that meet necessary food safety standards. This is where the vacuum packaging technique comes into play, as the safest way to send prepared food for delivery.
This preservation technique involves extracting oxygen from a completely airtight container in which the product is packaged, thus preventing the reproduction of bacteria inside. This offers greater food safety, as removing the oxygen reduces oxidation and bacterial proliferation. However, meticulous care is required from all professionals involved in this process.
Vacuum packaging is ideal for delivery due to its speed and efficiency, optimizing production. It guarantees safe transportation by preventing spills, thanks to the airtight seal, and maintains hygiene, preventing food contamination. Additionally, it is convenient, as it can include an instruction manual for correctly reheating dishes, preserving their nutritional properties. It facilitates efficient storage, allowing products to be consumed or stored, and is cost-effective since the bags are cheaper than traditional containers and don't require bulk purchases.
Undoubtedly, this concept takes a step forward in terms of hygienic conditions and product isolation. This delivery method also allows the food you purchase to be preserved for a longer time without opening, whether in the freezer or refrigerator.
