Air in bag after 1 week

[Ron Pratt]

You could try to locate the puncture, tape it and then try to real the bag, BUT what concerns me is the amount of air inside the bag. It should NOT be puffed up as that could mean the meat is off-gassing. But if it is just a little air, try to squeeze as much air out as possible and tape the hole. Continue to watch it for possible off-gassing. Ron
