A vacuum packed ham will keep its quality better than one that's been rewrapped at the store or at home because it's airtight and it's the contact with oxygen that causes freezer burn. I bought the produce at a new butchers stall for me - all the other stalls have provided excellent produce for me since before I can remember!

In addition, this hole will not remove the all-around pouch for the meat but will enable bacteria that ruin food to grow. In reality, just because it smells of sulfur does not necessarily mean that your meat is rotten. I bout had em all pukin. Meat that has been vacuum packed has been enclosed in an oxygen-free pouch.
