* WARNING: This table only contains approximate values. Exact preservation time depends on the initial freshness and status of food items. Since vacuum packing preservation does not inhibit bacterial growth, food items requiring a proper refrigeration should always be kept in the refrigerator or freezer. Prepackaged products should always be consumed prior to the expiration date stated on the package. |
