Product overview
Define the cooking cycle before choosing the pouch
Sous vide suitability depends on more than a bag material name. The intended temperature, duration, food type and seal conditions must be within the supported use of the chosen construction. Review those conditions with the product file and run a representative process trial before approving the pouch and its instructions.
Compostable food bags for clearly defined packing, storage and collection tasks. Choose the format around contents, closure, contact conditions and the finished pack your operation needs.

Use, handling & storage notes
Maximum operating temperature 85°C continuous — not suitable for microwave cooking where rapid localized heating can exceed this threshold. Industrial compostable only — not home compost certified due to thicker gauge (80–100μm) exceeding home compost degradation timeline requirements. Keep sealed in original packaging before use to prevent premature moisture absorption by the PLA component. Not suitable for pressure canning or retort processing.

Product questions
Before your
first order
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for these pouches?
85°C (185°F) continuous, tested and certified for up to 24 hours. Brief excursions to 90°C are acceptable but not recommended for extended periods. The glass transition temperature of standard PLA is approximately 60°C; our heat-stabilized formulation significantly extends the safe operating range through proprietary polymer modification.
Does the pouch affect food taste or aroma during cooking?
No. Our PLA+PBAT formulation is taste-neutral and odorless by design. Independent sensory panel testing confirmed no detectable flavor transfer after 12-hour sous vide cooking at 75°C versus a control group using conventional PA/PE bags. The material is also resistant to absorption of food aromas, preventing flavor carry-over between uses.
Can the used pouch go directly into compost after cooking?
Yes — this is a key workflow advantage. The pouch can be deposited directly into industrial organics collection with food residue still inside. No rinsing is required, which saves kitchen labor and water. The food residue actually accelerates the composting process by providing nitrogen. At home composting temperatures, degradation takes longer (12–18 months due to thicker gauge).
