Summary

Storage life of meat, either vacuum-packed or packed in a CO2 enriched atmosphere during storage at -1.5 deg C, is compared. Vacuum-packed meat has a shorter storage life. However, the occurrence of off-flavour, related to lactic bateria, limits storage life of meat to 9 weeks, at -1.5 deg C, in both cases.
