What gases are needed for vacuumed fresh meat packing?

Vacuum packed meat means that air is removed from the package prior to sealing it. Nitrogen can be used to flush air out of packages prior to the vacuum sealing process. The idea is that if a tiny bit of air remains in the package, it isn't air but the relatively inert nitrogen used to flush air out of the bag at the time it was vacuum sealed. As an aside, nitrogen is used in the snack industry to package potato chips and the like. Shelf life is given a big boost because the fats and oils used to cook the chips and other snacks are no longer subject to the degrading effects of air.
