Frequently Asked Questions
VSP focuses on removing air from the packaging to create a vacuum seal that preserves meat freshness when refrigerated, from 1 to 3 weeks and up to 1 year when frozen.
MAP modifies the internal atmosphere inside a package with specific gases that prolong shelf life while also maintaining quality, from 1 to 3 weeks when refrigerated and up to 6 months when frozen.
Overall, the choice between VSP and MAP depends on the desired shelf life, product presentation, and specific storage needs for meat.
Yes. To help extend freshness and flavor after freezing, meat packaged in standard overwrap tray packaging should be re-packaged with a vacuum sealer or freezer bag before putting it in the deep freeze. Because meat, poultry, or seafood packaged in VSP has no air that meets the product, it can go straight into the freezer without repackaging.
