(50) ShieldPro Mylar Bags Genuine 5 Mil 1-Gallon + 300cc Oxygen Absorbers for Long Term Food Storage (50)

I purchased as the 300CC oxygen absorbers were being upgraded to 500CC. Wording in ad says "Now upgraded to 500cc absorbers!" However, I only received the 300CC. I can see from previous reviews that this supplier has been misadvertising for a while.

These are great quality bags, well worth the price. I use them for storing pasta, sugar, and other dry goods long term. I love that these actually came with the absorbers so I didn't have to order them separately. This item worked so well for me that I recently placed another order for more. I hear people complaining in the reviews a out the absorbers coming bunched in packs of 10 and not wrapped "individually." In the world of oxygen absorbers, that is actually REALLY good. Just a tip: if you do not need all of the absorbers at one time, simply have a mason jar ready and place them all in the jar and close it up. That will preserve your remaining absorbers indefinitely until you are ready to use them next.

excellent product slight complaint was they used plastic to seal the oxygen absorbers.... the test "eye" was already pinkish red..... still good but really they sell mylar bags that they could have used to seal the oxygen absorbers???!!!

These bags are very sturdy, I used a hair straightener to seal the bags and had no issues. I was concerned they might be flimsy, but I almost cut myself on them a couple times because of how thick the bags are. My only negative thought to offer is that the oxygen absorbers came in a bag all together, so I had to place them in a mason jar to save the ones I didn't use. However I have read that some people also cut down a bag in half and sealed them in one of the bags as well to keep until they used them.

I give the mylar bags and oxygen absorbers 5 stars. However, I would prefer that the oxygen absorbers be packed in smaller groups, like 10 to a packet, not all 50 in a sealed bag. Once you open the vacuum sealed bag of absorbers, you immediately have to store the rest. I'm a newbie at long term food storage and would rather not expose unnecessary absorbers to the air.
