It was determined that the product that was being vacuum packaged is allowed to be vacuum packaged since it is not a tcs product. EHS came to the conclusion that the products are allowed to be vacuum packaged based on confirmation from the manufacturer. If the food being vacuum packaged ever changes to a tcs food or anything hazardous gets added they should discontinue and contact the Health Department. No action is being taken at this time until the product itself is further verified with the provider.
