How can you tell that the container has actually been vacuum sealed?

Try taking the lid off when it is not sealed. Then seal it and try it again. You'll have major trouble removing the lid if it's sealed.

I'm not sure I have the correct answer but I just give the container a slight tug. If it's sealed it doesn't come apart. Another thing is I can tell it's been sealed when I lift the tab and hear a shhhhhhh sound. Hope this helps some.

One way is to notice that the lid has collapsed a little, indicating the presence of vacuum. Another is to just lift the pressure release rubber seal and hearing the hissing sound as air is drawn into the bowl. Of course you will have to re-vacuum the bowl afterwards.

When you apply the adapter and start the suction watch the top of the container,it will suction down a little if the gaskets and container are aligned properly.

The lid will not come off. Also the gray flap will appear to be pulled down into the opening. It should make a whoosh sound whenreleased.

usually, there is an indentation in the center where the vacumn is placed. In my experience though, the vacumn only last a day or so, which is rather disappointing. I actually bought four of them. That is my honest opinion.

The lid will not come off until you lift the little rubber knob holding out the air. If it is new, it takes a couple of tries before you get it to seal. It need to be broken in a bit. After that it seals quickly. It is great for lunch meats and cheeses. Hope this helps you.

I believe not as it is vacuum sealed, but I wouldn't want to test for how long. However I do store it in the fridge, and when I open it I cut it into 4 pieces, vacuum sealing 3 and using 1.

They certainly seem to be completely sealed. Either using the snap on, one time use lid or the more expensive gamma lid.I prefer the gamma so that access is available to the product stored with out the hassle of replacing the snap on lid.

The sealed plastic is like a zip-top. There is a very very thin slit that you need to get a fingernail into so you can pop the seal.

I wouldn't trust it. I've yet to try it honestly but the seals didn't look completely sealed on mine.

don't know. I used mine right away but they appeared to be wrapped up tightly and everything sealed.

It is well sealed in plastic individual packets. I have had it on hand for months.

If you pull-up the product label on-line, it will tell you definitively. I don't have the container now, and I don't really know.

Mine was sealed in plastic so I would think your's is either used or tampered with in some form.

I cant say it was factory sealed but it was packaged to prevent damage during shipping.

In the paper bag... it is vacuum sealed in another bag. I have successfully kept it fod months.

That happened to me a couple of times. I found that if you simply press down lightly on the front when you press start it'll create that vacuum seal.

It lists no preservatives on the container, so I don't think there are any. It is vacuum-packed.

There is no seal on the box or container. I have purchased this item from Amazon numerous times and high end department stores. I think the logical behind this is that the pump action of the container makes it almost if not impossible to contaminate. I have used this product for years, love it........and have never had a problem.

I just received mine and it looks like the box had already been open and there was no kind of seal on the tube!

I bought this item quite a while back. I don't remember if it was sealed or not. I did buy another one of the same item at Wal-mart last summer and that was not sealed. I hope this helps you out.
