vacuum packed

Air completely removed

Vacuum packed describes food or other items sealed in packaging from which air has been removed.

The absence of oxygen slows spoilage and extends shelf life: vacuum packed coffee, vacuum packed salmon.

The tight seal makes the packaging conform closely to its contents.

Also spelled vacuum-packed.
