I bought a jar of Chicken &amp; Beef, it had a seal on the outside, when I opened it, it was like it was already opened. It was real soupy. Is it okay?

The material inside the jar should be semi solid NOT SOUPY. Take it back for a refund.

i would advise you not to eat any unsealed food products !!!!!! return them as damaged goods and ask for new shipment .

I took it out of the bag and put it in jars. I've stayed sealed, you get a long time out of it.

Mine was not sealed down;It should come loose by using your fingers. Mine was easily replaced. If yours is not loose possibly use old knife edge to loosen underneath the seal between jar & seal. Careful not to damage jar.

You should take this up with Amazon. I had a similar problem but it wasn't dirty, just the seal broken. This is not sanitary so complain to the store or Amazon. If yu have a COSTCO near you, they have the same jar (which is what I purchased from Amazon) that was beautifully packed and sealed, will be purchasing it there in future.

This came to me in a sealed bag. Once you open it, it must be put into a jar or tupperware. The bag is not resealable

The company told me it was a "best by" date of one year from purchase. But it is usually good for a few years if properly sealed. I wouldn't recommend this as a food storage item because both jars I received were not sealed. I would recommend another supplier.

First off, unopened jars of what? If food, then there should be an expiration date on the jar. If there isn't, contact the manufacturer. They usually have an 800 number and will be happy to answer questions about their products. Never try something you are not sure of. That is a good way to get a case of food poisoning and in some cases, you could even die. So. please, contact the manufacturer before trying something you are not sure of. Be it, food or drugs.

I hsve had mine for about a month. It is still fresh. In addition to sealing the package I also seal the package inside of a ziplock bag for double protection.

are you using the foodsaver brand bags? the Weston bags I have a problem with it holding its seal, but the foodsaver brand I've never had an issue with. do you have "quick" seal selected or "normal"? that may make a difference as well. if you are sealing meats, I've sometimes had an issue if liquid from the meat seeps up into the seal area, solved it by putting in a ziplock first, then the Foodsaver bag, then sealing as normal. hope this helps somewhat!

I bought it and it wasn't sealed either, in fact the plastic it came wrapped in was a little wet. I was very suspicious and came back to this detail page specifically to check on this. Glad to see this is the first FAQ item! But yeah seems like there's no need to worry.

You would need to check the expiration date on the jar. It will say...Best if used by... It does not clarify if opened or not.

That's not the norm. Hard to say if the packet inside had a seal failure or if your pasta was dusted by loose cheese powder (even possibly on the outside of your cheese packet if another one had blown out) prior to the box being sealed.

I'm sorry, but I bought it put it in the fridge, and forgot about it. I don't think that it smelt bad. I got it to make mayo.

YES! I accidentally found out how much better vacuum sealed steaks tasted vs ziplocked and I was HOOKED. I'll grill out mass quantities off meats (pork chops, chicken thighs, chicken breasts, hamburger patties... you name it, let them cool slightly and seal 'em up. I call them "meat snacks". I've actually sealed chili, ground turkey and tomatoes, ham and potato stew... pretty much anything. Really helps to be able to grab something from the freezer at work vs going out for fat food. (Typo intentional, lol.) Protip... if your sealer seems to be losing suction after say a year or so, just moisten the foam rings prior to using. Gotta do it each time, but it beats buying a new unit.

I've never had that problem! I keep mine in an airtight ziplock in the fridge. It is resealable... But sometimes a little tricky to close completely.

I placed the grease in a glass tupperware and stored it in the refrigerator. I did not use the container it came in because the containers came with it partly leaked. I just placed my second order and am hoping they fixed the packaging issue.
