Food Safety & Thermal Sealing Guidelines for UK Producers

To ensure your packaged recipes meet UK food safety standards and achieve maximum shelf stability, follow these guidelines:

● Sterilisation: Ensure both glass jars and jar lids are thoroughly washed and heat-sterilised prior to filling.

● Headspace Control: Leave adequate headspace at the top of the jar during filling to allow proper vacuum formation during the cooling phase.

a. 1/4 inch (approx. 6 mm): Use for high-sugar, thick foods like jams and jellies.

b. 1/2 inch (approx. 12 mm): Use for most water-bath canning recipes, including fruits, tomatoes, and pickles.

c. 1 inch (approx. 25 mm): Use for low-acid foods processed in a pressure Canner, such as meats, poultry, fish, and vegetables.

● Capping: Apply the 43mm twist-off lid firmly while the product is hot. As the contents cool, the internal air contracts, pulling the lid down to create an airtight vacuum seal.
