vacuum sealed freezer bags and defrosting

483 views

Can someone explain to me why all flash frozen, vacuum sealed bags say to remove them from the original bag before defrosting the item? Does maybe the layer of ice make the food soggier if it isn’t removed? It’s my only guess.

There is an increased risk of botulism when thawing vacuum-packed frozen foods while still enclosed in the packaging. Those packages have had air removed from them, and the botulism bacteria can do well in oxygen-free environments.
