Vacuum packaging extends shelf life because it removes oxygen from around the food. There is no one formula to determine how long that will extend shelf life of all foods. Companies that use vacuum packaging perform shelf life studies on their products and it will vary from product to product or even manufacturer to manufacturer. It also depends upon the quality of the product when it is packaged. Home vacuum packaged food may not last as long as commercially packaged product.

Also remember that vacuum packaging does not take the place of proper storage.

If properly done, vacuum sealing will drastically extend the life of your food. The following are approximate shelf lives for vacuum sealed products:

Fresh Meat: To maximize product life, store fresh meat in the freezer. Fresh meat should maintain its freshness for 2-3 years. Under refrigeration alone, fresh meat should last 2-4 weeks.

Ground Meat: To maximize product life, store ground meat in the freezer. If vacuum sealed properly, this product should last for up to 1 year. If refrigerated, ground meat should last for 1 month.

Fish: To maximize product life, store fish in the freezer. Once frozen, vacuum packaged fish will last for up to 2 years. If refrigerated, fish should last 1 week.
